[Intro]
Am Am/G# Fmaj7 F6 Fm(maj7)
 
[Verse 1]
C
Beauty is a drug
F G C Dm G
And it's coursing through my veins
C F
I sit at home staring at your picture
G C Dm G
While my colleagues discuss capital gains
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
This love's just a cloud of cigarette smoke
C F
Blows away on the wind but it stays in your throat
Dm F G G7
And the coughing is worse than ever these days
 
[Verse 2]
C
You walk into the room
F G C Dm G
And I can't look up at you
C F
All my concentrated efforts added up
G C Dm G
To one big thing I never meant to do
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F F
My heart's been misfiled by the U.S. Postal Service
C F
All these people with their expectations make me so nervous
Dm F G
People like them could never be like people like you
 
[Chorus]
C Dm G C
You're too bright for me, I'm too dumb for you
Am Em F G
In the night I see your face in the moon
G7 C Dm G C
You're the one who stands rock-solid in the shifting sands
Am F G
And I'm a bad, bad man with a place in my heart for you
 
[Verse 3]
C
I got to the place
F G C Dm G
Where secret things are sold
C
Thunder in the distance
F G C Dm G
And it sounds like it's a million years old
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
I see your hair like a waterfall falling
C F
Feel like a lone drunk in the parking lot, bawling
Am/E Dm F G G7
And I don't know how this house got so incredibly cold
 
[Verse 4]
C
I can't explain it
F G C Dm G
And nobody cares to know
C F
Long-dead women call my name
G C Dm G
From deep inside my radio
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
I sat surrounded by my money and my glory
C F
Numbly re-telling my little pointless life story
Dm G G7
And the chandeliers winked as if to say, "We know"
 
[Bridge]
Am E
And I've confessed all my sins
F C E Am
I'm just the type who never ever wins
E F G
And I pray to God every weekend I fit in
 
Am E
And I've kept you waiting so long
F C E Am
But everything's gonna be different when I finish this song
E
And I know myself better than anyone
F G G7
Who's to say I'm wrong?
 
[Chorus]
C Dm G C
You're too bright for me, I'm too dumb for you
Am Em F G
In the night I see your face in the moon
C Dm G C
You're the one who stands rock-solid in the shifting sands
Am F G
And I'm a bad, bad man with a place in my heart for you
