Intro: F Em Dm C
Cmaj7 Dm
Beautiful People
F C
You live in the same world as I do
Cmaj7 Dm F D
But somehow I never noticed you before today
F G C
I'm ashamed to say
Cmaj7 Dm
Beautiful people
F C E
We share the same back door and it isn't right
Dm F D
We never met before, but then
F G
We may never meet again
F G
If I weren't afraid you'd laugh at me
F G
I would run and take all your hands
E D A
And I'd gather everyone together for a day
D
And when we gathered
A C
I'll pass buttons out that say...
Cmaj7 Dm
Beautiful people
F
Then you'd never have to be alone
C E
'Cause there'll always be someone
Dm F D
With the same button on as you
F G C
Include him in everything you do
Cmaj7 Dm
Beautiful people
F
You ride the same subway
C E
As I do every morning
Dm F
That's got to tell you something
Dm F
We've got so much in common
Dm F D
I go the same direction that you do
F G
So if you take care of me
F G C
Maybe I'll take care of you
Cmaj7 Dm
Beautiful people
F
You look like friends of mine
C E
And it's about time
Dm F D
That someone said it here and now
F G
I make a vow that sometime, somehow
E D
I'll have a meeting
A
Invite everyone you know
D
I'll pass out buttons to
A C
The ones who come to show
Cmaj7 Dm
Beautiful people
F
Never have to be alone
C E
'Cause there'll always be someone
Dm F D
With the same button on as you
F G
Include him in everything you do
F G
He may be sitting right next to you
F G
He may be beautiful people too
F G
And if you take care of him
F G
Maybe I'll take care of you
