[Intro]  G  C  G  C 
 
[Verse 1]

G                      C 
He drowns in his dreams 
       G               C 
An exquisite extreme, I know 
       G                 C 
He's as damned as he seems 
     Am                             D       
And more heaven than a heart could hold 
Em                 D  
And if I tried to save him 
Bm                     Em 
My whole world could cave in 
C                                  Cm 
It just ain't right, it just ain't right 
 
 
[Chorus]

                 D 
Oh and I don't know 
                         C 
I don't know what he's after 
                D 
But he's so beautiful 
                    C   G 
Such a beautiful disaster 
                 D 
And if I could hold on 
                            C 
Through the tears and the laughter 
                  D 
Would it be beautiful? 
                        C   G 
Or just a beautiful disaster? 

 
[Verse 2]

G                 C 
He's magic and myth 
G                 C 
As strong as what I believe 
G             C 
A tragedy with 
Am                             D 
More damage than a soul should see 
Em               Bm 
And do I try to change him 
                 Em 
So hard not to blame him 
C 
Hold me tight 
           Cm 
Baby Hold me tight 
 
 
[Chorus]

                 D 
Oh and I don't know 
                         C 
I don't know what he's after 
                D 
But he's so beautiful 
                    C   G 
Such a beautiful disaster 
                 D 
And if I could hold on 
                            C 
Through the tears and the laughter 
                  D 
Would it be beautiful? 
                        C   G 
Or just a beautiful disaster? 

 
[Verse 3]

Cm                 Bb                   F 
I'm longing for love and the logical 
Bb                  F          Gm 
But he's only happy hysterical 
Cm                Bb                      F 
I'm waitin' for some kind of miracle 
             G        C 
Waiting so long,  
 G        C 
So long 
 
 
G                 C 
He's soft to the touch 
G                 C 
But frayed at the end he breaks 
G                 C 
He's never enough 
     Am                       D 
And still he's more than I can take 

 
[Chorus]

         D 
Oh and I don't know 
                      C 
I don't know what he's after 
                D 
But he's so beautiful 
                        C   G 
He's such a beautiful disaster 
                D 
And if I could hold on  
                           C 
Through the tears and the laughter 
                 D 
Would it be beautiful? 
                      C  G 
Or just a beautiful disaster 

 
[Outro]

G            C 
He's beautiful 
G            C 
Lord he's so beautiful 
G            C   Am   D 
He's beautiful
