A
Climbing up to your window
G              C
The ladder of life, it moves slow
A
Singing the melody that you taught me
G              C                     F
The apple you gave me rotten to the core
                       G
And I don't want your love
                 F
But I want your love
                       G
And I don't want your love

Em         G
We don't know where we're going
D        A
But we know we got some money saved
Em       G
All our tear drops exploding
D          A
And we're riding a broken wave

Chorus:
A                G
Jane is waiting for
  C
Initials for Gainsbourg
A                G
Bonnie's at the door
      C
And Clyde's in the back seat
Gangsters hold up the store
With a love song
Now we're going home
Initials for Gainsbourg
Initials for Gainsbourg
Initials for Gainsbourg

Did you see that shooting star?
And it's still only daylight
All our dreams in the back of the car
We don't walk between raindrops
But somehow we managed to stay alive
We both know that the penny drops
But we don't know if we will survive
And I don't want your love
But now I want your love
And I don't want your love

We don't know where we're going
But we know we got some money saved
Yes, our hearts are exploding
But we're riding a broken wave

Chorus:
Jane is waiting for
Initials for Gainsbourg
Bonnie's waiting at the door
And Clyde's in the back seat
Gangsters hold up the store
With a love song
Now we're going home
Initials for Gainsbourg
(Now we're going home)
Initials for Gainsbourg
(Now we're going home)
Initials for Gainsbourg
No one knows where we go
Initials for Gainsbourg
No one knows where we go
Initials for Gainsbourg
No one knows
Initials for Gainsbourg
(Now we're going home)
Initials for Gainsbourg
(Initials for Gainsbourg)
(Initials for Gainsbourg)
(Initials for Gainsbourg)
