Beauty Into Cliches chords by Madison Cunningham

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G        F
G        F

Verse 1:
          F
Oh, how I feel for the sky
F                      C
Overused by poetry and rhymes
            G
It's in the sentence that follows
Am         G      F
"We stayed up all night"
F

Oh, shouldn't it concern me
F                                   C
That we shrink beauty to fit in our minds?
              G
Don't have to listen to the whole song
   Am                 G     F
To know what's in the third line

Chorus:
        G
Tell me should I feel right, tell me should I feel fine
      F                           C
About tossing the meaning for the sake of the rhyme
    G                         Am          C    G
But aren't we good at turning beauty into cliches?

Instrumental:
G        F

Verse 2:
          F
Oh, how I feel for the lonely girl
F                                C
Quickly made into a woman by the world
            G
They combed sense through her hair
Am            G       F
Straightening out her curls
F
While you're waiting for someone to see you
F                          C
You make fast friends with abuse
            G                Am      G         F
And you'll do just about anything it tells you to

Chorus:
         G                            G
But I'll never feel right, I'll never feel fine
      F                      C
About shaping the meaning to fit in the rhyme
G                  Am        G         F
Changing the human into what sells and buys
G                             Am     C          G
But aren't we good at turning beauty into cliches?

Bridge:
G
It's never, ever so alphabetical
F                            C
You go out of order and they call you heretical
G                      Am     G           F
And you just said what nobody had time to hear
G
Pretending the truth isn't explicit
F                       C
Won't censor the people affected by it
G                            Am              Amaj7sus2     F
It's like the first time you ever heard real music in your ears

Chorus 3:
      G                      G
It'll never be enough, it'll never measure up
            F                         C
Turning the depth of the ocean to the size of a cup
    G                         Am         G    F
But aren't we good at turning beauty into cliches?
      G                        G
It'll never make sense, if you make sense of it
        F                               C
All the things that make you cry out of happiness
    F                    Am     G           F
But some things are just better left unexplained
    G                         Am         C    G
But aren't we good at turning beauty into cliches?
