D                           F#m
Said your name, in an empty room
D                           F#m
Said your name, in an empty room
Em                        G
Something I, would never do

Said your name in an empty room
Said your name in an empty room
Something I would never do

      D
I'm alone again

Chorus:
          A
When I'm by myself, I can be myself
                                 G            D F#m
But my life is coming and and I don't know when

You were burning, now you’re black and gray
You were burning, now you’re black and gray
Something I would never say

I’m alone again

Toute ma vie, être avec toi

Toute ma vie, être avec toi

Moi j’attends, toi tu pars
D                    A
Toute ma vie, être avec toi
Bm                 F#m
Toute ma vie, être avec toi
D               A
Moi j’attends, toi tu pars
