Intro:
F


Verse 1:
F                                Bb                     C
I think I'd prefer if you didn't know anything special about me
F                                 Bb                         C
Yes, I think it's best, given my high propensity for making poetry
                      F
Out of every shooting star

So, please, don't fall in love
                                           Bb
I'm not the boy you should be plucking off petals for
           C
Or telling secrets about
  Bb                 C
Believe me, I really want to feel it
Bb                  C
This time, I really thought I could

                Bb
But just when I started to feel happy again
               F
That's when my heart went all to pieces my friend
                Bb                          Db
Cause you never know what beauty you'll find
         C      F
Down the Velvet Goldmine


Verse 2:
F
So, then let it snow
                                     Bb
Let there be tinsel all trimmin' the boulevards
              C
And all those baggage claims
F                                                      Bb
I'll be at the movies. I'll have my own row at the Cinerama Dome
            C                    Bb
Handin' out miracles, givin' out angels wings
         C
To every mother's child who knows:

                Bb
Whenever you're starting to feel happy again
                 F
That's when your heart goes all to pieces, my friend
                Bb                           Bbm
Cause you never know what beauty you'll find
         C      Bb
Down the Velvet Goldmine


Bridge:
Bb                                             F
Lai de dai. Lai de dai de dai de dai de dai de dai
                                               Bb
Lai de dai. Lai de dai de dai de dai de dai de dai
                                        F      C
Lai de dai. Lai de dai de dai de dai de dai de dai

Lai de da de da


Verse 3:
                 Bb
'Cause maybe I'm starting to feel happy again
            F
Maybe these arms won't know how to let go of him
               Bb
And are we the wise ones gathered

Confessing our fears
              F
Searching the stars within us

That others might hear?

               Bb
There could be angels waiting to bring us the news
              F
Of one little boy in love with the world left to choose
             Bb                       Db
Can we leave all this heartache behind
       C      F
In the Velvet Goldmine?
