[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G C G C
Life has been unfaithful
G C G C
And it all promised so so much
G C G C
I am a relic
G C G C
I am just a petrified cry
C Eb G C G C
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
C Eb
The applause nails down my silence
[Chorus]
G C G C
La tristesse durera
G C G C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
G C G C
La tristesse durera
G C G C D
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
[Bridge]
G C G C
[Verse 2]
G C G C
I see liberals
G C G C
I am just a fashion accessory
G C G C
People send postcards
G C G C
And they all hope I’m feeling well
C Eb G C G C
I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy
C Eb
Where they patronise my misery
[Chorus]
G C G C
La tristesse durera
G C G C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
G C G C
La tristesse durera
G C G C D
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
[Solo]

[Chorus]
G C G C
La tristesse durera
G C G C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
G C G C
La tristesse durera
G C G C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
[Outro]
G C
I sold my medal
G C
It paid a bill
G C
It sells at market stalls
G C
Parades Milan catwalks
G C G C
Oh, the sadness will never go
G C
Will never go away
G C
Baby it's here to stay
G C G C
La tristesse durera
G C G C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
G C G C G
