Chords with lyrics

Intro: G+G B minorBm E minorEm C majorC

verse 1
G+G
She puts on her makeup
     B minorBm                   E minorEm
And the last dress she remembers that turned his head
               A minorAm     C majorC
That time he said, "You look beautiful"
  G+G
At six, the front door opens
     B minorBm
And he doesn't even notice
      E minorEm
Kisses her cheek
               C majorC
"Baby, when do we eat? I'm starving"

Pre-Chorus
D MajorD  A minorAm
Oh, the beautiful things we miss...

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

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

Oh, the beautiful things we miss...

Become the beautiful things we miss
