Mm.

Mm.

I’ve al ways been the (Em7)kind of gal

that (A7sus)had a lot to (D)say.

I says the things that’s (Em7)on my mind, too (A7sus)dumb to shy a (D)way.

But you (Asus2)hush my mouth and still me with a (G)song I’ve nev er heard.

I guess that means that (E7)you are just

too (D)beau ti ful for words.

I’ve seen this life from high and low and (D)all that’s in be tween.

I danced with dukes, (Em7)crooned with counts, been (D)court ed like a queen.

But (A5)when I see what’s (A)in your heart, (Gsus2)all the rest is blurred.

The grace you bring in (E7)to this world’s too (D)beau ti ful for words.

You (G)hide your head un der your (B)wing

just (Em)like (Bm)a (Cmaj7)lit tle bird.

Oh, (E7)don’t you know you’re beau ti ful, too (G)beau ti ful

for

(D)words.

Oo, Ce lie, you’re too (A7sus)beau ti ful for (D)words.
