[Intro]
C   Em   F   G(x2)
[Verse 1]
Le veCnt dans tes cheveux blonds
le sEm/Boleil à l'hAmorizon
quelques mEm/Gots d'une chansFon
que c'est Dm7beau, c'est G7beau la Cmaj7vie.
Un oiCseau qui fait la roue
sur uEm/Bn arbre déjà rAmoux
et son cri par-dessus tFout
que c'est Dm7beau, c'est bG7eau la Cmaj7vie.
[Chorus 1]
Tout ce Dm7qui tremble et palpG7ite
tout ce Em7qui lutte et se Gm7batA7  
tout ce Dmque j'ai cru trop vite
à jB7amais perdu pour G7moi.
PouCvoir encore regarder
poEm/Buvoir encore écAmouter
et surtout pouvoir chanFter
que c'est Dm7beau, c'est bGeau la vCie.G#7  
[Verse 2]
Le jaC#zz ouvert dans la nuit
sa tFm/Crompette qui nous Bbmsuit
dans Fm/G#une rue de PaF#ris
que c'est D#m7beau, c'est G#7beau la C#maj7vie.
La roC#uge fleur éclatée
d'un Fm/Cnéon qui fait tBbmrembler
nos deux ombres étonnF#ées
que c'est D#m7beau, c'est G#7beau la C#maj7vie.
[Chorus 2]
Tout ce D#m7que j'ai failli perG#7dre
tout ce Fm7qui m'est redonG#m7néA#7  
aujourd'D#mhui me monte aux lèvres
en cetC7te fin de jourG#7née.
PoC#uvoir encore partager
ma jFm/Ceunesse, mes Bbmidées
avec l'amour retrouF#vé
que c'est D#m7beau, c'est bG#eau la vC#ie.A7  
[Finale]
PouDvoir encore te parler
pouvoir F#m/C#encore t'embraBmsser
te le dire et le chanteGr
