Em          C/D             Em 
This is the moment that you know 
         Am                C/D               Em 
That you told her that you loved her but you don't. 
              G                 Em 
You touch her skin and then you think 
            C                 Am                    Em 
That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me. 
            C                 Am                    Em 
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me. 


Em          C/D      Em 
I spent two weeks in Silverlake 
        Am                           Em 
The California sun cascading down my face 
             G                    Em 
There was a girl with light brown streaks 
             C                 Am                    Em 
And she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me. 
             C                 Am                    Em 
Yeah she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me. 


  Am        C                  A7               Am 
I wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking 
      C              G      D 
As we moved together in the dark 
            Am                 Em 
And all the friends that i was telling 
            Am          C 
And all the playful misspellings 
          Em              C      D 
And every bite i gave you left a mark 


Am           C               A7 
Tiny vessels oozed into your neck 
               Am 
And formed the bruises 
         G               Em      D 
That you said you didn't want to fade 
         Am             Am     C    Em 
But they did and so did i that day 

      Em                C/D 
All i see are dark grey clouds 
       Am              C/D               Em 
In the distance moving closer with every hour 
            G                   Em 
So when you ask 'was something wrong?' 
                          C      
That i think 'you're damn right there is, 
       Am                  Em 
but we can't talk about it now. 
       Am                  C 
No, we can't talk about it now.' 


   Em       C/D                   Em 
So one last touch and then you'll go 
          Am                    C/D               Em 
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more 
           Am               Em 
But it was vile, and it was cheap 
            C                 Am                    Em 
And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me 
            C                 Am                    Em 
Yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me (2x)
