C                         Gsus4
 When I think back to the first time in my childhood

Am                F
  When I saw that face, I thought right then

C            Gsus4            | Am | F |
   'That's a real good looking boy'
[Verse 2]
C                    Gsus4
 I saw myself in the mirror

   Am              F
In profile for the first time, I thought

C               Gsus4            | Am | F |
 'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'
[Verse 3]
      C                Gsus4
And I felt then that I moved

               Am               F
With all those lucky saints and angels

C           Gsus4         | Am | F |
High in the theatre In the sky
[Verse 4]
      C         Gsus4
So, I ran to my mother

              Am                  F
I said, 'Hey, Mom, take a look at me

         C           Gsus4      | Am | F |
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high?'
[Chorus]
Cadd9       Gsus4             | Am | F |
   That's a real good looking boy

Cadd9       Gsus4             | Am | F |
   That's a real good looking boy
[Verse 5]
C             G
   She said, 'Son, well, you know

          Am        | F |
You're an ugly boy.

C           Gsus4            | Am | F |
   You don't really look like him
[Verse 6]
C              Gsus4
  In this long line there's been some

Am             F
  Real strange genes

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

                       | Am | F |
With some extras thrown in'
[Chorus]
Cadd9       Gsus4             | Am | F |
   That's a real good looking boy

Cadd9             Gsus4            | Am | Bb F/A Gm F |
   Yeah, that's a real good looking boy

Wise men say

     F     C               | G | % |
Only fools, only fools rush in

    F  G       Am
But I, I can't help

F          C    G            [ C ]
Falling in love, in love with you

            Now I'm here with you little darling

            Am                    F                [C ]
            And you say, 'You're beautiful as you are'

[Verse 8]
            C                    Gsus4
              You arrived in my life like a fragrance

            Am               F
              You helped me find a way to laugh

            C                    Gsus4           | Am | F |
            Now I know where my so-called beauty lies

God gave him a face, then he gave me something above

    C               Gsus4                 Am                  F
God gave me a grace, then he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love

 You make me feel I'm a real good looking boy

   I feel I'm a real good looking boy

Cadd9       Gsus4            | Am | F |
   That's a real good looking boy
