My life is brilliant, my love is pure.

Am              F

I saw an angel, of that I'm sure.

She smiled at me on the subway, she was with another man.

But I won't lose no sleep on that, 'cause I've got a plan.

 

CHORUS:

F            G     C                  F            G         C

You're beautiful.  You're beautiful.  You're beautiful, it's true.

F        G         C   G   Am

I saw your face in a crowded place.

      F          G       Am              F     G       C

And I don't know what to do, 'cause I'll never be with you.

 

Yes, she caught my eye as we walked on by.

She could see from my face that I was fucking high.

And I don't think that I'll see her again.

But we shared a moment that will last to the end.

 

CHORUS:

La-la-la-la!  La-la-la-la!  La-la-la-la!  La-a!

 

CHORUS:  [new words]

You're beautiful.  You're beautiful.  You're beautiful, it's true.

      F          G            C        G   Am

There must be an angel with a smile on her face.

F                        G             C   G   Am

When she thought up that I should be with you.

          F       G        Am             F     G       C

But, it's time to face the truth:  I will never be with you.
