Beautiful disaster    (intro)    (midi)

 

    D - G    - D - G

 

             D                              - G

1. He drowns in his dreams,

                 D                         G

    an exquisite extreme, I know.

                   D                                - G

    He's as damned as he seems,

                     Em                    A      

    and more heaven than a heart could hold.

 

          Bm              A            F#m                              Bm

    And if I tried to save him, my whole world could cave in

        G                                     Gm  - - -

    it just ain't right, it just ain't right. - - -

 

                  A                                                    G

Oh, and I don't know, I don't know what he's after,

                     A                                         G   D

but he's so beautiful, such a beautiful disaster.

                       A                                                    G

And if I could hold on through the tears and the laughter,

                      A                                          G  D

would it be beautiful, or just a beautiful disaster?

 

               D                      - G

2. He's magic and myth,

             D                         G

    as strong as what I believe,

         D                  - G

    A tragedy with

              Em                     A

    more damage than a soul should see.

 

           Bm               A             F#m                  Bm

    And do I try to change him, so hard not to blame him,

      G                              Gm

    hold on tight, hold on tight.

 

+ CHORUS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         Gm              F                  C

    I'm longing for love and the logical,

           F              C            Dm

    but he's only happy hysterical.

           Gm           F                      C

    I'm waitin' for some kind of miracle,

                      D     - G       D     - G

    waiting so long,       so long.

 

              D                       - G

3. He's soft to the touch,

            D                                G

    but frayed at the end he breaks.

              D                    - G

    He's never enough,

           Em                         A

    and still he's more than I can take.

 

                      A                                                    G

Oh, ‘cause I don't know, I don't know what he's after,

                     A                                         G   D

but he's so beautiful, such a beautiful disaster.

                       A                                                    G

And if I could hold on through the tears and the laughter,

                      A                                          G  D

would it be beautiful, or just a beautiful disaster?

 

                 A                                               G  D

    He’s beautiful, he’s such a beautiful disaster?

D            G    - D            G    - D              G

    Beautiful,         beautiful,          beautiful ….
