[Intro]
 
C Em F G G C C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
     C                   Em
You talk like Marlene Dietrich 
         F                  G
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire 
      C                      Em
Your clothes are all made by Balmain 
             Dm                         G     G7           G
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are 
 
      C                   Em
You live in a fancy apartment 
        F               G
Off the Boulevard Saint-Michel 
           C                         Em
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records 
      Dm                G     G7        G
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   C                       Em
But where do you go to my lovely 
  F                       G
When you're alone in your bed
  C                        Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you 
   Dm                       G    G7      G
I want to look inside your head, yes I do 
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
      C                   Em
I've seen all your qualifications 
    F               G
You got from the Sorbonne 
        C                       Em
And the painting you stole from Picasso 
       Dm                   G   G7         G
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does 
 
      C                        Em
When you go on your summer vacation 
    F              G
You go to Juan-les-Pins 
    C                                Em
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit 
    Dm                         G        G7          G
You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs 
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
    C                                         Em
And when the snow falls you're found in Saint Moritz 
         F                 G
With the others of the jet-set 
         C                  Em
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
         Dm                  G   G7         G
But you never get your lips wet, no you don't 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 C                           Em
But where do you go to my lovely
F                         G
When you're alone in your bed 
   C                                Em
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you 
  Dm                         G   G7      G
I want to look inside your head, yes I do 
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
     C                          Em
Your name, it is heard in high places 
    F              G
You know the Aga Khan 
C                           Em
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas 
         Dm                        G         G7    G
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, a-ha-ha-ha 
 
     C                     Em
They say that when you get married 
      F             G
It'll be to a millionaire 
         C                              Em
But they don't realize where you came from 
      Dm                     G       G7          G
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  C                      Em
Where do you go to my lovely 
F                         G
When you're alone in your bed 
  C                       Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you 
   Dm                        G   G7     G
I want to look inside your head, yes I do 
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
     C                           Em
I remember the back streets of Naples 
    F                   G
Two children begging in rags 
        C                        Em
Both touched with a burning ambition 
   Dm                          G    G7        G
To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try 
 
   C                         Em
So look into my face Marie-Claire 
    F                     G
And remember just who you are 
     C                 Em
Then go and forget me forever 
      Dm                       G    G7           G
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do 
 
 
[Outro]
 
    C                       Em
I know where you go to my lovely 
F                         G
When you're alone in your bed 
C                        Em
I know the thoughts that surround you 
       Dm         G           C
'Cause I can look inside your head
 
 
C  Em  Dm  G
C  Em  Dm  G C
