E5          C5             E5
This is the moment that you know
         A5                C5               E5
That you told her that you loved her but you don't.
              G5                 E5
You touch her skin and then you think
            C5                 A5                    E5
That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
            C5                 A5                    E5
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.


E5          C5      E5
I spent two weeks in Silverlake
        A5                           E5
The California sun cascading down my face
             G5                    E5
There was a girl with light brown streaks
             C5                 A5                    E5
And she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.
             C5                 A5                    E5
Yeah she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.


  A5        C5                  A5               A5
I wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking
      C5              G5      D5
As we moved together in the dark
            A5                 E5
And all the friends that i was telling
            A5          C5
And all the playful misspellings
          E5              C5      D5
And every bite i gave you left a mark


A5           C5               A5
Tiny vessels oozed into your neck
               A5
And formed the bruises
         G5               E5      D5
That you said you didn't want to fade
         A5             A5     C5    E5
But they did and so did i that day

      E5                C5
All i see are dark grey clouds
       A5              C5               E5
In the distance moving closer with every hour
            G5                   E5
So when you ask "was something wrong?"
                          C5     
That i think "you're damn right there is,
       A5                  E5
but we can't talk about it now.
       A5                  C5
No, we can't talk about it now."


   E5       C5                   E5
So one last touch and then you'll go
          A5                    C5               E5
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
           A5               E5
But it was vile, and it was cheap
            C5                 A5                    E5
And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
            C5                 A5                    E5
Yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me [x2]
