E G# C#m A x2
E G#m C#m A
Cry baby boy, not tears of joy, the one you held is no longer your toy
E G#m C#m A
She's got her... new suit and her make up on
E G#m
You can call her your friend but not your lover again
C#m A
She's made it clear as air that this affair is at an end
E G#m C#m A
...So what are you doing holding on?
E G#m C#m A
Don't you see she's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m C#m A
Yes she's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m
She was soft in your hands, now she's shattered your plans
C#m A
I'm sympathetic but you've got to understand
E G#m C#m A
You tried to squeeze her into somewhere she just don't belong
E G#m
She was being sincere when she breathed in your ear
C#m A
...as long as there were stars in the night sky
E G#m C#m A
she'd be near... even angels get it wrong!
E G#m C#m A
Won't you see she's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m C#m A
Yes she's rare, precious and she's gone
B E A E
It's a subtle trap... seeding guilt in her mind
B A G#m
She ain't taking your crap... this time
A G#m C# NC
Boy you're out on a line...
E G#m
She's a queen among women, a child among queens
C#m A
The finest thing that your lovesick eyes have ever seen
E G#m C#m A
...she's a rose without a thorn
E G#m
She's a peach, she's a prize, a gift in disguise
C#m A
She's graceful and colourful and when she grows she'll be wise
E G#m C#m A
...but most of all my friend, she's gone
E G#m C#m A
...gone, gone gone! She's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m C#m A
Yes she's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m C#m A
She's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m C#m A
She's rare, precious and she's ...gone
