[Em]Ou tu m’aimes, ou tu me [B7]quittes, mais ce soir il faut [Em]choisir
Ne dis pas que tu hé- [B7]sites, tu fais mal pour le [Em]plaisir
Le plaisir de voir un [Am]homme, comme [D]un jouet dans [G]tes mains
Que tu [C]laisses pour per [Am]sonne, et vas [B7]retrouver pour [Em]rien


Moi je n’en peu [D]plus de tous tes [Am]caprices
Des jours où tu [D]m’aimes, des jours où je [G]glisse
Tout au fond de [C]l’ombre, tout au bout du [Am]vide
De ces nuits trop [B7]longues ou mon coeur [Em]se ride


Je n’ai plus la [D]force de toujours [Am]t’attendre
Solide est l’écorce [D]mais le bois est [G]tendre
Ma vie se dis- [C]loque. Je me barri- [Am]cade
Ce soir, je me [B7]moque de tes [Em]dérobades!


[Em]Je veux lire entre les [B7]lignes, deviner entre les [Em]mots
Je m’accroche au moindre [B7]signe, naufragé sur ton [Em]radeau
Je ne suis qu’un fou, [Am]peutêtre, et tu [D]joues de mon [G]amour
Comme [C]avec ces marion[Am]nettes, dont [B7]l’enfant se lasse un [Em]jour
