When I think back, to the first time in my childhood
AmF
I saw that face, I thought right then
CGAmF
That's a Real Good Looking Boy
CG
I saw myself in the mirror
AmF
Here in profile, for the first time, I thought
CGAmF
Hey, thats a Real Good Looking Boy
CG
I felt then, that I'd moved
AmF
With all those lucky fucks and angels
CGAmF
High in the air in the sky
CG
So I ran to my momma
AmF
I said, hey ma, take a look at me
CGAmF
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high?
ChorusCGAmF
Thats a Real Good Lookin Boy (played 2 times)
Verse
(same progression)
She said son, well you know
Youre an ugly boy
You dont really
look like him
In this long line theres been some
Real strange genes
You got them all, you got them all
With some extras thrown in
Chours
Descending progression- F, Em, Dm, C
(same as verse)
Why...
as men say
Only fools
only fools rush in
But I, I
Can't help
CG
Fallin in love
AmF
In Love with you
(combinations of F, C, and G nake up the next part, I cant quite get it exactly though)
Key changes to Gm. No real chords, just the solo. Ends on Gsus4---G
Same as piano intro, and same chords in the verse.
Now I'm here with you little darling
And you say, you're beautiful as you are
And Ive managed somehow, to survive
....
You arrived in my life a fragrance
Helped me find a way to laugh
Now I know
How so called beauty lies
God gave him a face
And he gave me something above
God gave me grace
And he gave me sweet sweet sweet love.
Chorus, all the same.
Ending: F, Em, Dm, C (C) C.
Brilliant.
