Matthew West – The Beautiful Things We Miss (Guitar)

G
She puts on her makeup

         Bm                                      Em
And the last dress she remembers that turned his head

                             Am         C
That time he said, "You look beautiful"

    G
At six, the front door opens

          Bm
And he doesn't even notice

            Em
Kisses her cheek

                             C
"Baby, when do we eat? I'm starving"

D   Am
Oh, the beautiful things we miss...

G
I don't wanna miss it

Bm
I don't wanna look back someday and find

Em
Everything that really mattered

C
Was right in front of me this whole time

G
Open up my eyes, Lord

Bm                               Em
Keep me in the moment just like this

                                C
Before the beautiful things we love

                                G
Become the beautiful things we miss

     G
She hides out in her headphones

 Bm
Texting on her cell phone

         Em                  C
Daddy's girl built a world behind her bedroom door

               G
While he was working hard and providing

        Bm
Bigger houses still get divided

         Em                                   C
Just yesterday she was on his shoulders but today she's older

D  Am             C
Oh, the beautiful things we miss...

G
I don't wanna miss it

Bm
I don't wanna look back someday and find

Em
Everything that really mattered

C
Was right in front of me this whole time

G
Open up my eyes, Lord

Bm                               Em
Keep me in the moment just like this

                                C
Before the beautiful things we love

                                G
Become the beautiful things we miss

G
We don't get to rewind

                 Bm           Em
There's no such thing as next time

 C
Help me remember, Help me remember

                    G
We don't get this back

                                       Bm
They were right when they said "don't blink"

Em
Lord, help me remember

C
The beautiful things we miss

G
I don't wanna miss it

Bm
I don't wanna look back someday and find

Em
Everything that really mattered

C
Was right in front of me this whole time

G
Open up my eyes, Lord

Bm                               Em
