This song is actuall in standard tuning, but since your playing with

[A]              [G]           [D/F# *]         [A]

[A]              [G]           [D/F# *]         [E]
Wonderful, you're wonderful, as wonderful as they come

To the feelings I can't even match

wanting you


VERSE 2 same as verse 1

CHORUS

[D]    [E]      [A]
As I'm sure you don't 
[D]    [E]   [A]   [F#m]
But you just can't tell
[D]             [E]      [A]   [F#m]
Who you love and who you won't  no,no
[D]             [E]      [A]
Who you love and who you won't

So let the clouds roll by your face

we'll let the world spin on to another place

This is my interpretation of the riff in the song "Beautiful" by Smashing 
Pumpkins.  There is piano behind this, it will throw you off.  This should 
sound alright.
