The Beautiful Things We Miss(Chords)

	        Intro: G Bm Em C 

Verse 1:
 
G 
She puts on her makeup 
         Bm                                      Em 
And the last dress she remembers that turned his head 
                             Am         C 
That time he said, 'You look beautiful' 
    G 
At six, the front door opens 
          Bm 
And he doesn't even notice 
            Em 
Kisses her cheek 
                             C 
'Baby, when do we eat? I'm starving' 

Pre-Chorus
 
D   Am 
Oh, the beautiful things we miss... 

 
G 
I don't wanna miss it 
Bm 
I don't wanna look back someday and find 
Em 
Everything that really mattered 
C 
Was right in front of me this whole time 
G 
Open up my eyes, Lord 
Bm                               Em 
Keep me in the moment just like this 
                                C 
Before the beautiful things we love 
                                G 
Become the beautiful things we miss 


Verse 2:
 
     G 
She hides out in her headphones 
 Bm 
Texting on her cell phone 
         Em                  C 
Daddy's girl built a world behind her bedroom door 
               G 
While he was working hard and providing 
        Bm 
Bigger houses still get divided 
         Em                                   C 
Just yesterday she was on his shoulders but today she's older 
Why do we get older?

D  Am             C 
Oh, the beautiful things we miss...

Keep me in the moment just like this 
                                C 
Before the beautiful things we love 
                                G 
Become the beautiful things we miss 


Bridge:
G 
We don't get to rewind 
                 Bm           Em 
There's no such thing as next time 
 C 
Help me remember, help me remember 
                    G 
We don't get this back 
                                       Bm 
They were right when they said 'don't blink' 
It all goes faster than you think 
Em 
Lord, help me remember 
C 
The beautiful things we miss

I don't wanna miss it
