I Drink - Charles Aznavour
Je Bois (French Version)
[Verse]
Dm A7
I drink to drive away all the years I have hated
A7 Dm
The ambitions frustrated that no longer survive
Dm A7
I drink day after day to the chaos behind me
A7 Dm
Yes, I drink to remind me that I still am alive
[Chorus]
D F#7 Bm
So I give you a toast to the endless confusions
G F#7 Bm
To the lies and delusions that have swallowed my life
D F#7 Bm
Yes, I give you a toast to the wine and the roses
G A7 Dm
To the deadly cirrhosis that can cut like a knife
[Verse]
Dm A7
I drink to catch a gleam of the love we degraded
A7 Dm
Of a life that has faded like the vanishing moon
Dm A7
I drink as in a dream to my waning desire
A7 Dm
To the passionate fire that has burned out so soon
[Chorus]
D F#7 Bm
I drink and I drown in the promise you made me
G F#7 Bm
All the times you betrayed me in your anger and spite
D F#7 Bm
When you took on the town when you looked for the action
G A7 Dm
When you took satisfaction like a whore in the night
[Verse]
Dm A7
I drink to make-believe that my life is worth living
A7 Dm
That the gods are forgiving at the end of the day
Dm A7
I drink because I grieve for the dreams when we started
A7 Dm
For the innocent-hearted who got lost on the way
[Chorus]
