[Verse]
C Cmaj7
Beautiful People
D7 F C
You live in the same world as I do
Cmaj7 D7
But somehow I never noticed
F D7
You before today
F G
I'm ashamed to say
C Cmaj7
Beautiful people
D7 F
We share the same back door
C E
And it isn't right
D7 F
We never met before
D7
But then
F G
We may never meet again
F G
If I weren't afraid you'd laugh at me
F G
I would run and take all your hands
E D A
And I'd gather everyone together for a day
D
And when we gather'd
A
I'll pass buttons out that say
C Cmaj7
Beautiful people
D7 F
Then you'd never have to be alone
C E
'Cause there'll always be someone
D7 F D7
With the same button on as you
F G
Include him in everything you do.
C Cmaj7
Beautiful people
D7 F
You ride the same subway
C E
As I do ev'ry morning
D7 F
That's got to tell you something
D7 F
We've got so much in common
D7 F D7
I go the same direction that you do
F G
So if you take care of me
F G
Maybe I'll take care of you
C Cmaj7
Beautiful people
D7 F
You look like friends of mine
C E
And it's about time
D7 F D7
That someone said it here and now
F G
I make a vow that some time, somehow
E D
I'll have a meeting
A
Invite ev'ryone you know
D
I'll pass out buttons to
A
The ones who come to show
C Cmaj7
Beautiful people
D7 F
Never have to be alone
C E
'Cause there'll always be someone
D7 F D7
With the same button on as you
F G
Include him in ev'rything you do
F G
He may be sitting right next to you
F G
He may be beautiful people too
F G
And if you take care of him
F G
Maybe I'll take care of yo
