Life has been unfaithful
G C G C
And it all promised so so much
G C G C
I am a relic
G C G C
I am just a petrified cry
C Eb G C G C
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
C Eb
The applause nails down my silence
G C G C
La tristesse durera
G C G C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
G C G C
La tristesse durera
G C G C D……
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
I see liberals
I am just a fashion accessory
People send postcards
And they all hope I’m feeling well
I retreat into self-pity, it’s so easy
Where they patronise my misery
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
I sold my medal
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
The sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it’s here to stay
Chords for solo…

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
