My life is bril liant.
My life is bril liant,
my love is pure.
I saw an an gel,
of that I’m sure.
She smiled (Eb)at me on the sub way,
she was (Bb11)with an oth er man.
But I won’t lose no sleep all night, ’cos I’ve got a plan.
You’re beau ti ful.
You’re beau ti ful.
You’re beau ti ful, it’s (Eb)true.
I saw your face
in a (Eb)crowd ed place.
And I (Ab9)don’t know what to do,
’cos (Bb11)I’ll nev er be with you.
Yes, she caught my eye
as I (Bb11)walked on by.
She could (Cm7)see from my face that I was
fuck ing high.
(Bb11)And I don’t think that I’ll (Bb11)see her a gain, but (Cm7)we shared a mo ment that will last till the end.
La la la la.
La la la la.
La la la la la.
You’re beau ti ful.
You’re beau ti ful.
You’re beau ti ful, it’s (Eb)true.
There must be an an (Bb11)gel with a (Eb)smile on (Bb11)her face
when she (Ab9)thought up that I should be with (Bbsus)you.
But it’s time to face the truth;
I will nev er be with you.
