[Verse 1]
Fm
You seem to be
  Fm
Inevitable to me
       Fm
Like a memory of the future
  F
I was and will be with you


[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
Over and over again
       Gm
I keep tasting that sweet madeleine
        Gm
Looking back at my life now and then
        Gm
Asking: if not later then when?


[Refrain]
     Cm                 F/A
It's taken me all of my life
     Dm                 Gm

[Verse 2]
Fm
You unlock the past
        Fm
So many scenes moving fast
   Fm
At last the right conclusion
      F
Or at least a sweet illusion


[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
Over and over again
       Gm
I keep tasting that sweet madeleine

A perfect memory

Of the future reminding me

How life is meant to be


[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
Over and over again
       Gm
