Verse 1:
[B]lights [C#m]out put my seat
back as far as it will go
casting [E]shadows like statues
I'm right outside your window
thereā??[C#m]s no such
thing as second chance
thereā??[E]s no such thing
donā??t bother to explain
Refrain:
you're so [A]beautiful
did you [B]hear a word I[C#m] [E]said?
you're so [A]beautiful
I [B]guess this is what I[C#m] [E]get

Chorus:
we [C#m]trust and believe so easily
and [A]words they speak we
seek security in one a[B]nother
but thereā??s no way to cove[E]r th[Ab]is
and these [C#m]tragic nights
and afternoons weak di[A]saster
and I can still feel you
as if [B]you were in the room
where does our story
end? [Ab]where does it start?
I buried you along with my heart

Verse 2:
[C#m]entertain me

feel everything
