[Intro]
C Bm A
[Verse 1]
Em G/D I was blank as I could be, hearing voices telling me, “Walk away from everything” Em G/D C Bm But where was I meant to go, far away from those I know, to some desolate below Em G/D We were in the uber scene, where they grind the coffee bean, where the women are oblique Em G C Bm A And the boys are paper thin, ragged beards upon their chin, we were on the outside looking in
[Prechorus]
Am Bm Am Em Rise above the present day, rise above the popular melee Am Bm C Dm I see you the way you are, I see you the star
[Chorus]
F G Am C G We were beautiful before this went down F G Am C G We were beautiful before the years came, turned it upside down F G Am C G We were beautiful before we got wise F G Am C Bm A We were beautiful with sky and blanket laying low
[Verse 2]
Em G/D I am hanging on the line, I’m on duty all the time, I am your Samaritan on call Em G/D I could try my best to heal, all the emptiness you feel, in the giving I will be alive Em G/D We were wrapped around our roots, nothing on except our boots, we were intimate around the waist Em G/D We were settling our scores, we were healing over sores, we were living out the pleasure that we lost
[Chorus]
F G Am C G We were beautiful before this went down F G Am C G We were beautiful before the years came, turned it upside down F G Am C G We were beautiful for all of time and space F G Am C G I will tell it to the sun and I will tell it to
[Bridge]
F G Am F If you listen to the night, we can heard the madmen fight, hear the foxes making out F G C Bb But the people all immune, sleeping silent in their rooms, growing bodies with their sleep Ab F G Am C G Making plans inside their heads, making love to shallow friends
[Chorus]
F G Am C G We were beautiful before this went down F G Am C G We were beautiful before the years came, turned it upside down F G Am C G We were beautiful before we felt wise F G Am C Bm A We were beautiful with sky and blanket fading out
[Chorus]
F G Am C G We were beautiful before this went down F G Am C G We were beautiful before the years came, turned it upside down F G Am C G We were beautiful for all of time and space F G Am C G I will tell it to the sun and I will tell it to your face
[Outro]
F G Am C G (repeat)
