My aunt used to live in Paris
-nc-
I remember, she used to come home and tell us
-nc-
stories about being abroad and,
-nc-
I remember that she told us she jumped in the river once,
-nc-
Barefoot.

and tumbled into the Seine

The water was freezing, she spent a month sneezing
Dm7FGm7C7
But said she would do it again

Gm7C7Dm7
Here's to the ones who dream
Gm7C7F
Foolish as they may seem
Gm7C7Dm7DbaugF
Here's to the hearts that ache
Gm7C7Dm7C7
Here's to the mess we make
Verse 2:

She captured a feeling
BbBbm
Sky with no ceiling
Dm7FGm7C7
The sunset inside a frame

She lived in her liquor
BbBbm
And died with a flicker
Dm7FGm7C7
I'll always remember the flame
Chorus:
Gm7C7Dm7
Here's to the ones who dream

Foolish as they may seem

Here's to the mess we make

She told me
Dm7A7Bbmaj7
"A bit of madness is key

To give us new colors to see

Who knows where it will lead us?
FC7F
And that's why they need us"
Verse 3:
~Key Change~

So bring on the rebels

The ripples from pebbles
GbmAE7
The painters, and poets, and plays
Chorus:
GbmB7Dbm7
And here's to the fools who dream
GbmB7Emaj7
Crazy as they may seem
GbmB7Dbm7
Here's to the hearts that break

Here's to the mess we make

Her, and the snow, and the Seine
