[Verse]
C E7 A7
I’ve sailed away to a melody
D7 G7
Danced all night long to a groove
C E7 A7
I’ve sat in awe at the orchestra
D7 G7
My ears perked up to the bassoon
C E7 A7
My smile shines so brightly
D7 G7
At every thump of the bass
C E7 A7
Singing in vocal harmony
D7 G7
Lifts my soul to a state
C E7 A7
I’ve been convinced that only music
D7 G7
Could mesmerize me to trance
C E7 A7
Until I heard Olivier speak his name
D7 G7 C
On a flight from Nice to Paris France
[Chorus]
C E7 A7 D7 G7
Olivier, I don’t fall for accents with ease
C E7 A7
But when I heard you speak your name to me
D7 G7 C E7 A7 D7 G7 C
I fell in love overseas, I fell in love overseas
[Verse]
C E7 A7
Songbirds have called me from the sheets
D7 G7
Pacific waves swell with my tears
C E7 A7
Nature’s song’s been there to soothe me
D7 G7
But even that doesn’t come near
[Chorus]
C E7 A7 D7 G7
Olivier, I don’t fall for accents with ease
C E7 A7
But when I heard you speak your name to me
D7 G7 C E7 A7 D7 G7 C D7 G7
I fell in love overseas, I fell in love overseas
[Outro]
F Gdim7
The cadence of your words
C E7 A7
Spun their way straight into my heart
F Gdim7
The timbre of your voice
C E7 Adim7 G7
Boy, a work of art
