The Beautiful Things We Miss chords by Matthew West

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?

Pre-Chorus
D Am       C
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

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


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

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
