C   Dm Am
C   F


[Verse 1]
           C                                 Dm  Am
While I'm bitching about a few more hours at YYZ
           C                            F
Someone's wishing for a few more hours before death
       C                         Dm        Am
Comes to collect their beloved from their side
     C                            F
Perspective it has never been a strong suit of mine



[Chorus 1]
          C        Dm              Am
I should call my grandmother you know
     F                 C       Dm             F
It's not her fault we don't always see eye to eye
          C       Dm              Am
Life is short so why not say the words
  F               C       Dm                F
While you can be heard, while you still got time?

    C
You,
 G  Am
you,
 F  C
you
G               F
Really oughta know
 Fm              C
That you're beautiful



[Verse 2]
           C                         Dm  Am
And on a flight from Metropolitan to JFK
  C                          F
I sat behind an argument already underway
  C                           Dm           Am
Eventually they peacefully agreed to disagree
          C                          F
  If the right to bear is worth the life it buries


[Chorus 2]
            C        Dm          Am
You should call your enemy you know
    F          C      Dm            F
Befriending a foe may only take a smile
         C         Dm             Am
Life is short so why not say the words
  F               C       Dm                 F
While you can be heard, while you still got time?

    C
You,
 G  Am
you,
 F  C
you
G               F
Really oughta know
 Fm              C
That you're beautiful


[Chorus 3]
     C        Dm         Am
I recall the news at six o'clock
   F             C           Dm          F
Only a few were lost and it warranted a sigh
        C         Dm          Am
We're broken the moment we become
 F              C       Dm         F
So comfortably numb to burying a child


[Outro]
    C
You,
 G  Am
you,
 F  C
you
G                    F
I guess we'll never know


    C
You,
 G  Am
you,
 F  C
you
G            F
That you're beautiful

    C
You,
 G  Am
you,
 F  C
you
G               F
Really oughta know
 Fm              C
That you're beautiful
