Belle & Sebastian - We were beautiful

I was blank as I could ^Embe, hearing voices telling me, “Walk away from ^Deverything” Oh I wasn’t meant to ^Emgo, far away from those I know, to some desolate be^Dlow ^{G C Bm}

We were in the urban sc^Emene, where they grind the coffee bean, where the women are obl^Dique And the boys are paper t^Emhin, ragged beards upon their chin, we were on the outside look^Ging in ^{C Bm Am}Rise above the p^Bmresent day, r^Amise above the pop^Emular melee ^AmI see you the ^Bmway you are, ^GI see you the s^Dmcar[?]

We were b^Feautif^Gul bef^Core this went do^Gwn We were b^Feautif^Gul bef^Core the years came, t^Gurned it upside down We were b^Feautif^Gul befo^Cre we got w^Gise We were b^Feautif^Gul with s^Cky and blanket l^Bmaying low ^A

I am hanging on the ^Emline, I’m on duty all the time, I am your S^Damaritan on call I could try my best to ^Emheal, all the emptiness you feel, in the giving I will ^Dbe a light[?}

We were wrapped around our ro^Emots, nothing on except our boots, we were intimate a^Dround the waist We were settling our s^Emcores, we were healing over sores, we were living out the plea^Dsure that we lost

We were b^Feautif^Gul bef^Core this went do^Gwn We were b^Feautif^Gul bef^Core the years came, t^Gurned it upside down We were b^Feautif^Gul befo^Cre we got w^Gise We were b^Feautif^Gul with s^Cky and blanket l^Bmaying low ^A

^FIf you listen to the n^Gight, we can heard the madmen fi^Amght, hear the foxes m^Faking out ^FBut the people all i^Gmmune, sleeping silent in their ro^Coms, growing b^A#odies with their sleep Making plans i^G#nside their heads, making love to sha^Fllow frien^Gds ^{Am C G}
