[Intro]
[C5]

[C5]They were young in their [C5]mid-twenties, some in their teens
[C5]They were intelligent and [C5]some believed were geniuses
[C5]They were passionate [C5]wildly in love, adventurous
[C5]Well, they were exuberant, [C5]capable of hate, extreme anger
[C5]They were drawn [C5]towards the exceptional
[C5]They avoided work
[C5]But worked hard on [C5]their laziness and evermore
[C5]It seems they [C5]walked wandering through Paris
[C5]Was a [C5]genuine art
[C5]La, la, la, la, [C5]la, la, la, la
[C5]♪
[C5]La, la, la, la, [C5]la, la, la, la

[G]La, la, la, la, [Bm]la, la, la, la
[C]La, la, la, la, [G]la, la, la, la
