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

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

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

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

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