La Collectionneuse Chords by Charlotte Gainsbourg

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I collect anything, and keep them all close to me
To the ceiling from the floor, I'm tripping on them constantly _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _
Exhalated faces play, on the blown out creamy screen
Footage from my camera, these days I'm fast-forwarding _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
I see a pattern start to form, over time it surfaces
Like a faith I recognize, it never says anything
[Bb] I add up [Eb] all these moments in a long narrow order
Decimals of brain, integers of pleasure
The sum of all these parts, I don't know [Ebm] how to measure
[Bb] They keep on adding up, they just keep [Eb] on adding up
The collector, _ _ the collectioner
The collector, _ _ the collectioner
The collector, _ _ the collectioner
_ _ The collector, the collector
I picked _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Cm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ up this strand of fog, _ [Bb] I didn't want to [Eb] go back to earth
In the darkness of the fog, I remember that _ _ [Bb] I
I had the courage to [Eb] look back, at the front of my hair
_ _ _ [Bb]
Like a passing [Eb] earthquake
You will be afraid when you cry, and that will pass too quickly
[Bb] Like a _
_ [Cm] _ [Eb] _ beating heart, like a broken heart
[Bb] I observe the night and the dead, [Eb] _ come the night it dies
Days seem to go by, I stay
A _ _ _ little [Bb] fog, a little sadness, [Eb] that will not see me on earth anymore
Outside of time, full of fog, [Bb] and remember that I
I _ [Cm] _ [Gm] _ had _ [Bb] the [Cm] courage to look [Eb] back, at the corpse of my days
_ [Bb] And you my beating heart, [Cm] like a [Eb] melancholic guitar _ _ _ _ _
And I feel, I stay
And you my beating _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _
[Db] heart, like a melancholic guitar
I observe the night and the dead _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
