Let's do something else all together, all right?
[E] Let's send a sound
All across this town
[B]
Let's send a sound
[E] All the way round the world
[B]
[Em] [N] Let's send a sound into outer space
Everybody do this
[E]
[F#] La da da da da da [E] da da
[N] La da da da [F#] da da da
La da da da da da da
[N] La da da da da da da
La da da da da da [G] da
La da da da da da [E] da
[B]
[F#m] [A]
[C#] [E]
[B] [G#m]
[F#m] [A]
[B] You got [E] the best of both worlds, yeah
[G#m] You're the kind of girl who can [F#m] take down a man
[A]
And lift him back up [B] again
[E] You are strong but you're [G#m] needy
Humble but you're greedy
[F#m]
And based on your body language and [A]
shoddy cursive I've been reading
[E] Your style is quite selective
[G#m] Though your mind is rather reckless
[F#m] Well I guess it just suggests that this [A] is just what [B] happiness
[A] is
What a beautiful man [B] this is
[A] It's like we're picking up trash [B] in [C#] Jersey
[B] Well [E] it kind of hurts [G#m] when the kind of words you [F#m] write
Kind of turn [A] themselves [B] into knives
And [E] on my mind nerve [G#m] you could call it fiction
[F#m] But I like being submerged [A] in your [B] contradictions, [F#] dear
[A] Here [F#] we are
[A] Here we [E] are
[G#m]
[F#m]
[A] [B]
[E] Although you are biased
[G#m] I love your advice
[A] [F#m] Your comebacks they're quick and [A] probably have to do with your [B] insecurities
[E] There's no shame in being crazy
[G#m] Depending on how you take [F#] these words
[F#m] I'm paraphrasing [A] this relationship we [B] are [A] staging
What a beautiful man [B] this is
It's
[A]
like we're picking up [B]
trash in Jersey
[E]
[B] Well [E]
it kind of hurts [G#m] when the kind of words you [F#m]
say
Kind of turn [A]
themselves into [C#] blades
[E] Kind and courteous [G#m] is a life I've earned
But [F#m] it's so nice to say that [A] we played in the [B] dirt
Oh [F#] cause here
[A] Here we [F#] are
Here [A] we are
[E]
Here [G#m]
we are
Here [F#m] we all are
Here [A] we are now
[B] Here [E] we are
[G#m] Here [F#m]
we are
[A] We're [B] still
[Am] here
[A]
Oh [F#] what [N]
a beautiful [C#] man
[F#] [B] this is
[A]
This life
We're taking a gash [B] when the only answer is yes
[E] Through timeless [G#m] words and priceless pictures
[F#m] We will fly like [A] birds
Night [B] of the surf and tides may turn
[G#m] And hearts disfigure [F#m] but that's no concern
[A] When we're wounded [B] together
And we tore our dresses
[G#m] And we stained our shirts
But [F#m] it's so nice today
[B] [D#]
[A] All the ways
Well it was [B] so worth it
[C#] [G#m] [G#m]
[F#m]
[A]
[G#] [E]
[Am]
