Beautiful Things

[Intro]
| Eb | Bb |

[Verse 1]
F      Eb                       Bb
 For a while there, it was rough
                F              Gm
But lately, I've been doin' better
             Eb               Bb
Than the last  four cold Decembers I recall
F             Eb                Bb
 And I see my family every month
              F               Gm
I found a girl my parents love
                Eb
She'll come and stay the night,
     Bb                         F
and I  think I might have it all
           Eb             Bb
And I thank  God every day
            F       Gbdim7
For the girl He sent      my way
Gm      Eb                      Bb
  But I know the things He gives  me,
He can take away
F      Eb                  Bb
 And I hold you every night
                Gm        F          Eb
And that's a feeling I wanna get used  to
                  Cm                       F
But there's no man  as terrified as the man who stands to
lose you
Eb Bb                       F   Gm
     Oh, I hope I don't lose you
Eb      Bb
  Please  stay
F  Gm                        Eb
 I want you, I need you, oh, God
     Bb
Don't  take
F                                 Eb
 These beautiful things that I've got

[Chorus]
      Bb
Please  stay
Gm  F                         Eb
  I want you, I need you, oh, God
     Bb
Don't  take
Gm      F                          Eb
  These beautiful things that I've got
   Bb Gm F Eb
Oh,   ooh
      Bb      F
Please  don't take

[Verse 2]
           Eb                    Bb
I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane
It's been a while,
F                   Gm
 but I'm finding my faith
                Eb
If everything's good and it's great,
        Bb                       F
why do I  sit and wait 'til it's gone?
                    Eb                  Bb
Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough
         F         Gbdim7    Gm
I've got peace and I've  got love
        Eb                    Bb                      F
But I'm up at night thinkin' I  just might lose it all

[Chorus]
Eb      Bb
  Please  stay
Gm  F                         Eb
  I want you, I need you, oh, God
     Bb
Don't  take
Gm      F                          Eb
  These beautiful things that I've got
   Bb Gm F Eb
Oh,   ooh
      Bb
Please  stay
F                            Eb
 I want you, I need you, oh, God
 Bb
I  need
F
 These beautiful things that I've got
