[Verse 1]
F#m D/E F#m
This is the moment that you know
Bm D/E F#m
That you told her that you loved her but you don't.
A F#m
You touch her skin and then you think
D Bm F#m
That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
D Bm F#m
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
[Verse 2]
F#m D/E F#m
I spent two weeks in Silverlake
Bm F#m
The California sun cascading down my face
A F#m
There was a girl with light brown streaks
D Bm F#m
And she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.
D Bm F#m
Yeah, she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.
[Chorus]
Bm D B7 Bm
I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking
D A E
As we moved together in the dark
Bm F#m
And all the friends that I was telling
Bm D
And all the playful misspellings
F#m D E
And every bite I gave you left a mark
Bm D B7
Tiny vessels oozed into your neck
Bm
And formed the bruises
A F#m E
That you said you didn't want to fade
Bm Bm D F#m
But they did and so did I that day
[Verse 3]
F#m D/E
All I see are dark grey clouds
Bm D/E F#m
In the distance moving closer with every hour
A F#m
So when you ask, "Was something wrong?"
D
I'd think, "You're damn right there is,
Bm F#m
but we can't talk about it now.
Bm D
No, we can't talk about it now."
[Outro]
F#m D/E F#m
So one last touch and then you'll go
Bm D/E F#m
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
Bm F#m
But it was vile, and it was cheap
D Bm F#m
And you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me
D Bm F#m
Yeah, you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me
D Bm F#m
Yeah, you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me
