| C | Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
[Verse 1]
C Gsus4
When I think back to the first time in my childhood
Am7 Fadd9
When I saw that face
C Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
I thought then 'That's a real good looking boy'
[Verse 2]
C Gsus4
I saw myself in the mirror
Am7 Fadd9
In profile for the first time
C Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
And I thought 'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'
[Verse 3]
C Gsus4
And I felt then that I moved
Am7 Fadd9
With all those lucky fucks and angels
C Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
High in the theatre in the sky
[Verse 4]
C | Gsus4 |
Then I went to my mother
Am7 Fadd9
I said, 'Hey, Mom, take a look at me
C Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high?'
[Chorus]
C Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
That's a real good looking boy
C Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
That's a real good looking boy
[Verse 5]
C | Gsus4 |
She said, Hey, you know
Am7 | Fadd9 |
You know, you're an ugly boy.
Csus2 Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
You don't really look like him
[Verse 6]
C Gsus4
In this long line we’ve had some
Am7 Fadd9
Real strange genes
C Gsus4
You've got 'em all, you've got 'em all
| Am7 | Fadd9 |
With some extras thrown in'
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
That's a real good looking boy
Cadd9 Gsus4 | Am7 | Gsus4 |
Yeah, that's a real good looking boy
[Song insert: “Can’t Help Falling in Love”]
C Gsus4 | Am7 | % |
Ah-ah, wise men say
Fadd9 C | Gsus4 C/G Gsus4 | % |
Only fools, only fools rush in

But I, I can't help
C Gsus4 [ C ]
Falling in love, in love with you
[Break]

[Interlude]
| C | Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
[Verse 7]
C Gsus4
And a train rolled in for me
Am7 Fadd9
Accepted in the eye what the eye could see.
Csus2 Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
She gave me away to an old guitar.
C Gsus4 Am7 Fadd9
She knew I loved him. He was my pal. He was my brother, and he was free.
Csus2 Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
She gave me away so I could become a star.
[Chorus]

That's a real good looking boy

He's a real good looking boy
[Verse 8]
C Gsus4
Now I'm here with you, little darling
Am Fadd9
You say, 'You're beautiful as you are'
C Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
And I've managed somehow to survive
[Verse 9]
C Gsus4
You arrived in my life like a fragrance
Am7 Fadd9
You helped me find a way to laugh.
C Gsus4 | Am7 | Fadd9 |
And I know now where so-called beauty lies
[Verse 10]
C Gsus4 Am7 | Fadd9 |
God gave him a face, then he gave me something above
C Gsus4 Am7 Fadd9
God gave me grace, then he gave me your sweet love
[Chorus]

That's a real good looking boy
