PIERRE from Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 (by Dave Malloy)
[PIERRE]
D F#m
It's dawned on me suddenly
D F#m
And for no obvious reason
Em B
That I can't go on
Em
Living as I am
C G
The zest of life has vanished
F# Bm
Only the skeleton remains
Em/G
Unexpectedly vile
F#
I used to be better
F
I used to be better
Em
I used to be better
F#
I used to be better
F
I used to be better
Em
I used to be better
[ALL]
Em G
Oh, Pierre
Am Em
Our married feasting crank
C G
Our most dear, most kind
Am Em
Most smart and eccentric
C G
A warm-hearted Russian of the old-school
Am Em
His purse is always empty
B Em
Because it's open to all
Am
Oh Pierre
B Em C
Just one of a hundred sad old men
B Em
Living out their final days in Moscow
[PIERRE]
D F#m
I drink too much
D F#m
Right now, my friend fights and bleeds
Em
And I sit at home and read
B
Hours at a time
Em
Hours at my screen
Em
Anything, anything
C G
Abandoned to distraction
F# Bm
In order to forget
Em
We waste our lives
F# F Em
Drowning in wine...
Em F# F
I never thought that I'd end up like this
F Em
I used to be better
C G
And the women, they all pity me
D
Because I'm married
E Am
But not in love
B Am
Frozen at the center
[WOMEN]
Bm F# Bm F#
Il est charmant; il n'a pas de sexe
Bm F# Bm
He is charming; he has no sex
[ALL]
Em G
Oh, Pierre
Am Em
Our married feasting crank
C G
Our most dear, most kind
Am Em
Most smart and eccentric
C G
A warm-hearted Russian of the old-school
Am Em
His purse is always empty
B Em
Because it's open to all
Am
Oh Pierre
B Em C
Just one of a hundred sad old men
B Em
Living out their final days in Moscow
[PIERRE]
E Am
There's a ringing my head
G D
There's a sickness in the world
D F#m
And everyone knows
Bm E
But pretends that they don't see
A
Oh, I'll sort it out later
F#m
But later never comes
[PIERRE & MEN]
D A
And how many men before
D A
Good Russian men
G F# Bm
Believing in goodness and truth
[PIERRE]
A G
Entered that door
D
With all their teeth and hair
C# F#m
And left it toothless and bald?
F#7 Bm
You empty and stupid
F#7 Bm
Contented fellows
F#7 Bm F#7 Bm
Satisfied with your place
F#7 Bm
I'm different from you
F#7 Bm
I'm different from you
F#7 Bm F#7 Emadd9 Bm
I still want to do something
B Em
Or do you struggle too?
F#
I pity you
F
I pity me
Em
I pity you
F#
I pity you
F
I pity me
Em
I pity you
[ALL]
Em
Ahh...
