[Verse 1]
E                   A                  C#m
You have to do your best to come up to par
     C#m              A          B           E
From straight off the production line like a car
                    A           C#m
Till everything you put on is a put-on
                         A           F#m     C#m
And you don't know who's face you're gazing upon
C#m                    A
Could be anyone you're sending out there tonight
C#m              B
Is it any wonder all the lights are too bright?


[Chorus]
        E              A
And you need temporary beauty
E                       B
And hope to God that it doesn't rain
    E              A
You need temporary beauty
G#m   C#m      F#m      B       E     A     E     B
Even though it might be love in vain, vain, vain, vain


[Verse 2]
E                    A                 C#m
The world is full of little people like you
     C#m            A       B             E
They have to read a book to learn what to do
                    A                     C#m
They hang around in second hand stores for clothes
                  A         F#m           C#m
And every kind of pressures steps on their toes
C#m          A
Love doesn't fall out of a magazine
C#m         B
You mustn't always believe what you see


[Chorus]
             E              A
And baby you need temporary beauty
E                       B
And hope to God that it doesn't rain
    E              A
You need temporary beauty
G#m   C#m      F#m      B       E
Even though it might be love in vain
A        B
Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty
A        B
Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty
A        B                 A E B
Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty


[Verse 3]
E                A                           C#m
You might be the sweetest little girl in your heart
   C#m              A                B         E
But still the world ignores that and tears you apart
                 A                    C#m
You think of the parties you'll never attend
             A             F#m         C#m
You dream of someone who's more than a friend
C#m          A
Love doesn't jump out of a magazine
C#m         B
You mustn't always believe what you see


[Chorus]
             E              A
And baby you need temporary beauty
E                       B
And hope to God that it doesn't rain
    E              A
You need temporary beauty
G#m   C#m      F#m      B
Even though it might be love
G#m   C#m      F#m      B
Even though it might be love
G#m   C#m      F#m      B
Even though it might be love in
E     A     E     B
Vain, vain, vain, vain
E     A     E     B     E
Vain, vain, vain, vain
