[E,A,E,B / E,A,E,B]
|
[for the intro, play E with an F# added on the high
|
E string, and then a "normal" E chord for the second
|
strum. Tack that F# onto the A chord as well.]
|
|
E A C#m
|
You have to do your best to come up to par,
|
A B E
|
from straight off the production line like a car,
|
E A C#m
|
Till everything you put on is a put-on,
|
A F#m
|
and you don't know who's face you're gazing upon
|
C#m A
|
Could be anyone you're sending out there tonight,
|
C#m B
|
is it any wonder all the lights are too bright?
|
E A
|
And you need temporary beauty,
|
G#m E B
|
and hope to God that it doesn't rain
|
E A
|
You need temporary beauty,
|
G#m C#m F#m B E [like intro}
|
even though it might be love in vain
|
|
The world is full of little people like you
|
They have to read a book to learn what to do
|
They hang around in second hand stores for clothes
|
And every kind of pressures steps on their toes
|
Love doesn't fall out of a magazine
|
You mustn't always believe what you see
|
|
[chorus]
|
A B A B
|
Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty, ah-ah-ah temporary beauty,
|
A B A E E B
|
Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty
|
|
You might be the sweetest little girl in your heart
|
But still the world ignores that and tears you apart
|
You think of the parties you'll never attend
|
You dream of someone who's more than a friend
|
Love doesn't jump out of a magazine
|
You mustn't always believe what you see
|
|
E A
|
And you need temporary beauty,
|
G#m E B
|
and hope to God that it doesn't rain
|
E A
|
You need temporary beauty,
|
G#m C#m F#m B [3 times]
|
even though it might be love, [3 times]
|
|
|
in vain (like intro)
|
