 When I think back to the first time in my childhood

Am7                     Fadd9
  When I saw that face

C                         Gsus4            | Am7 | Fadd9 |
 I thought then 'That's a real good looking boy'

[Verse 2]

C                    Gsus4
 I saw myself in the mirror

   Am7              Fadd9
In profile for the first time

                   C         Gsus4            | Am7 | Fadd9 |
And I thought 'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'

[Verse 3]

           C           Gsus4
And I felt then that I moved

              Am7              Fadd9
With all those lucky fucks and angels

C           Gsus4              | Am7 | Fadd9 |
High in the theatre in the sky

[Verse 4]

                  C      | Gsus4 |
Then I went to my mother

              Am7                  Fadd9
I said, 'Hey, Mom, take a look at me

         C           Gsus4      | Am7 | Fadd9 |
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high?'

[Chorus]

C           Gsus4             | Am7 | Fadd9 |
   That's a real good looking boy

C           Gsus4             | Am7 | Fadd9 |
   That's a real good looking boy

[Verse 5]

C                           | Gsus4 |
   She said, Hey, you know

                         Am7   | Fadd9 |
You know, you're an ugly boy.

Csus2  Gsus4                 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
   You don't really look like him

[Verse 6]

C              Gsus4
  In this long line we’ve had some

Am7             Fadd9
  Real strange genes

               C                   Gsus4
You've got 'em all, you've got 'em all

                       | Am7 | Fadd9 |
With some extras thrown in'

[Chorus]

Cadd9       Gsus4             | Am7 | Fadd9 |
   That's a real good looking boy

Cadd9             Gsus4            | Am7 | Gsus4 |
   Yeah, that's a real good looking boy

Ah-ah, wise men say

     Fadd9 C               | Gsus4   C/G Gsus4 | % |
Only fools, only fools rush in

    Fadd9  Gsus4      Am7  | Fadd9 |
But I,        I can't help

           C    Gsus4        [ C ]
Falling in love, in love with you

C                  Gsus4
And a train rolled in for me

Am7               Fadd9
  Accepted in the eye what the eye could see.

Csus2           Gsus4                 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
   She gave me away to an old guitar.

C                      Gsus4          Am7                     Fadd9
  She knew I loved him. He was my pal. He was my brother, and he was free.

Csus2                  Gsus4           | Am7 | Fadd9 |
   She gave me away so I could become a star.

[Chorus]

Cadd9       Gsus4             | Am7 | Fadd9 |
   That's a real good looking boy

Cadd9     Gsus4            | Am7 | Gsus4 |
   He's a real good looking boy

[Verse 8]

C                 Gsus4
Now I'm here with you, little darling

Am                  Fadd9
   You say, 'You're beautiful as you are'

C                 Gsus4        | Am7 | Fadd9 |
 And I've managed somehow to survive

[Verse 9]

C                    Gsus4
   You arrived in my life like a fragrance

Am7             Fadd9
  You helped me find a way to laugh.

C                     Gsus4               | Am7 | Fadd9 |
 And I know now where so-called beauty lies

[Verse 10]

    C               Gsus4            Am7              | Fadd9 |
God gave him a face, then he gave me something above

    C             Gsus4           Am7         Fadd9
God gave me grace, then he gave me your sweet love

[Chorus]

Cadd9       Gsus4            | Am7 | Fadd9 |
   That's a real good looking boy

Cadd9       Gsus4            | Am7 | Fadd9 |
   That's a real good looking boy
