[Verse 1]
Ab
  The more you see, the less you know
Db
  The less you find out as you go
Ab
  I knew much more then
     Db
Than I do now
Ab
  Neon heart, dayglo eyes
Db
  A city lit by fireflies
Ab
  They're advertising in the skies
    Db
For people like us

[Pre-Chorus]
B      Db
 And I miss you when you're not around
B            Db                       Eb
 I'm getting ready to leave the ground

[Chorus]
             Db
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Eb             Db
  Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Eb              Db               Ab
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight

[Interlude]
Bbm Fm       Ab  Bbm            Db
      In the city   of blinding lights

[Verse 2]
Ab
  Don't look before you laugh
Db
  Look ugly in a photograph
Ab
  Flash bulbs, purple irises
    Db
The camera can't see
Ab
  I've seen you walk unafraid
Db
  I've seen you in the clothes you made
       Ab                 Db
Can you  see the beauty inside of me?
Ab                                    Db
  What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

[Pre-Chorus]
B      Db
 And I miss you when you're not around
B            Db                       Eb
 I'm getting ready to leave the ground

[Chorus]
             Db
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Eb             Db
  Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Eb              Db               Ab
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight

[Bridge]
Eb              Db
Time won't leave  me as I am
        Eb                  Db
But time  won't take the boy  out of this man

[Chorus]
Eb              Db
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
Eb              Db

Oh, you look so beautiful tonight

[Outro 1]
Ab                            Bbm
  The more you know, the less you feel
Fm
  Some pray for, others steal
Ab                           Bbm
  Blessings not just for the ones who kneel
Db
  Luckily
