[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7 C
I hear child practicing their music
Fmaj7 G C
A trumpet is to sloppy to be sure
Fmaj7 G C
A soul trying to get out of that building
C Am G C
But their feet are nailed to the floor
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G C
And its a beautiful thing yes it is
Fmaj7 G C
It's a thing that gives me hope to live
Fmaj7 G C
Somebody's looking for their voice
C Am G C
In an open window with their supper on the stove
[Verse 2]
C Fmaj7 C
And you can hear it just going down the street
Fmaj7 G C
Singing and playing out a beat
Fmaj7 G C C
Someone who life has gave no reason
C Am G C
Making up a reason of their own
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G C
And its a beautiful thing yes it is
Fmaj7 G C
It's a thing that gives me hope to live
Fmaj7 G C
Somebody's looking for their voice
C Am G C
In an open window with their supper on the stove
[Verse 3]
C Fmaj7 C
There's a man shadow boxing in a doorway
Fmaj7 G C
With his eyes closed, I know he's gonna win
Fmaj7 G C
and he's kicking the trash out of the way
C Am G C
He's gone down but he always gets up again
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G C
And its a beautiful thing yes it is
Fmaj7 G C
It's a thing that gives me hope to live
Fmaj7 G C
Somebody's looking for their voice
C Am G C
In an open window with their supper on the stove
[Verse 4]
C Fmaj7 C
There's a woman standing at the bus stop
Fmaj7 G C
She's yelling that the city is on fire
Fmaj7 G C
The cops come looking clumsy and disgusted
C Am G C
Everything she says, they say, she says they are a liar
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G C
And its a beautiful thing yes it is
Fmaj7 G C
It's a thing that gives me hope to live
Fmaj7 G C
Somebody's looking for their voice
C Am G C
In an open window with their supper on the stove
[Verse 5]
C Fmaj7 C
Everybody's lost among the buildings
Fmaj7 G C
The ruins that we leave will last forever
Fmaj7 G C
While everything that's said may be forgotten
C Am G C
There's something that connects us like a river
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G C
And its a beautiful thing yes it is
Fmaj7 G C
It's a thing that gives me hope to live
Fmaj7 G C
Somebody's looking for their voice
C Am G C
In an open window with their supper on the stove
Fmaj7 G C
Somebody's looking for their voice
C Am G C
In an open window with their supper on the stove
