[Opening]
[Am]Hier en[Dm]core, j’avais vingt [G]ans
Je caressais le [C]temps, et jouais de la [F]vie
Comme on joue de l’a[Dm]mour, et je vivais la [E]nuit
Sans [E7]compter sur mes [Am]jours, qui fuyaient dans le temps
[verse 2]
J’ai [A7]fait tant de [Dm]projets, qui sont restés en [G]l’air
J’ai fondé tant d’es[C]poirs, qui se sont envo[F]lés
Que je reste per[Dm]du ne sachant où [E]aller
Les [E7]yeux cherchant le [Am]ciel, mais le coeur mis en [A7]terre
[verse 3]
Hier en[Dm]core j’a[F]vais ving[G]tans
Je gaspillais le [C]temps en croyant l’arre[F]ter
Et pour le rete[Dm]nir eme le devan[E]cer
Je [E7]n’ai fait que cou[Am]rir et me suis essoufflé
[verse 4]
Ig[A7]norant le pas[Dm]sé, con[F]juguant au fu[G]tur
Je precedais de [C]moi toute conversa[F]tion
Et donnais mon [Dm]avis que je voulais le [E]bon
Pour [E7]critiquer le mon[Am]de avec desinvolture
[verse 5]
[Am]Hier en[Dm]core, j’avais ving [G]tans
Mais j’ai perdu mon [C]temps a faire des fo[F]lies
Qui ne me laissent au [Dm]fond, rien de vraiment pré[E]cis
Que [E7]quelques rides au [Am]front et la peur de l’ennui
[verse 6]
Car [A7]mes amours sont [Dm]mortes avant que d’exis[G]ter
Mes amis sont par[C]tis et ne reviendront [F]pas
Par ma faute j’ai [Dm]fait le vide autour de [E]moi
Et [E7]j’ai gaché ma [Am]vie et mes jeunes an[A7]nées
[Closing]
Du meilleur et du [Dm]pire en [F]jetant le meil[G]leur
J’ai figé mes sou[C]rires et j’ai glacé mes [F]pleurs
Où sont-ils à pre[Dm]sent a present mes ving [E]tans? [E7]Hier en[Am]core
