Lyrics

He (G)drowns in his (C)dreams;

an ex (G)qui site ex (C)treme, I know.

He’s as (G)damned as he (C)seems

and more (Dm)heav en than a heart could hold.

And (Am)if I try to (Em)save him,

my whole world could (Am)cave

in.

It (F)just ain’t right,

it just ain’t right.

Oh, and I (Gsus)don’t

(G)know,

I (G)don’t know what he’s (Fsus2)af

ter,

but he’s so (F)beau (G)ti ful,

such a beau ti ful dis (F)as

(C)ter.

And if I could (Gsus)hold

(G)on

through the (G)tears and the (Fsus2)laugh

ter,

would it be (F)beau (G)ti ful,

or just a beau ti ful dis (F)as

(C)ter?

He’s (G)mag ic and (C)myth,

an as (G)strong as what (C)I be lieve,

He’s a (G)trag e dy (C)with

and more (Dm)dam age than a soul should see.

And (Am)do I try to (Em)change

him?

So hard not to (Am)blame

him.

It (F)Hold on tight,

it hold on tight.

Oh, ’cause I (Gsus)don’t

(G)know,

I (G)don’t know what he’s (Fsus2)af ter,

but he’s so (F)beau (G)ti ful,

such a beau ti ful dis (F)as (C)ter.

And if I could (Gsus)hold (G)on

through the (G)tears and the (Fsus2)laugh ter,

would it be (F)beau (G)ti ful,

or just a beau ti ful dis (F)as (C)ter?

He’s

I’m (Fm)long ing for love and the log i cal,

but (Eb)he’s on ly hap py hys ter (Cm)i cal.

I’m (Fm)wait ing for some kind of mir a cle; wait ed so (G)long,

so (G)long.

He’s (G)soft to the (C5)touch,

but (G)frayed at the (C5)ends, he breaks.

He’s (G)nev er e nough,

and (Dm)still, he’s more than (G)I can take.

Oh, ’cause I

He’s (F)beau (G)ti ful,

such a beau ti ful dis (F)as ter.

Beau ti (Fsus2)ful,

beau ti (Fsus2)ful dis as ter.

Beau ti (Fsus2)ful,

beau ti (Fsus2)ful dis as ter.

beau ti (Fsus2)ful dis as ter.
