I can't get the spacing to work perfectly, so just know that the verses are F#m, A/
D, A, Bm and the middle part is D, D#dim7,  F#m (x2)


F#m

               A/D               A
This is the moment that you know
              Bm                                                   F#m
That you told her that you loved her but you don't.
                      A/D                     A
You touch her skin and then you think
                  Bm                                                  F#m
That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
                    A/D                                              
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.

A    Bm    F#m

                 A/D                  A
I spent two weeks in Silverlake
          Bm                                           F#m
The California sun cascading down my face
                   A/D                        A
There was a girl with light brown streaks
                     Bm                                                      F#m
And she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.
                      A/D           
Yeah she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.

A      Bm

D                                 D#dim7
Wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking
          F#m
As we moved together in the dark
                 D
And all the friends that i was telling
                 D#dim7
And all the playful misspellings
               F#m
And every bite i gave you left a mark

D                    
Tiny vessels oozed into your neck
D#dim7
And formed the bruises
               F#m
That you said you didn't want to fade
              A                            E/G#
But they did and so did i that day

F#m

       A/D                   A
All I see are dark grey clouds
           Bm                                                  F#m
In the distance moving closer with every hour
                    A/D                    A
So when you ask "Is something wrong?" 
                                 Bm                                                        F#m
I think "you're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now. 
                                     A/D
No, we can't talk about it now."

A   Bm   F#m
 
               A/D                       A
So one last touch and then you'll go
                  Bm                                              F#m
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
               A/D                 A
But it was vile, and it was cheap
                  Bm                                                         F#m
And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
                   A/D                                                   A
Yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me 
                   Bm                                                         F#m
Yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me

A/D   A  Bm   (add a high C# to the Bm if you wanna be more accurate)
