Lyrics The Beautiful And The Unbeautiful Overture

e ----5----3
B ----3----1


I’ve been afflicted by the scorn of young believers
I never meant to go this way
Have I always been a hopeless romantic?
Or did I just change one fateful day


So, tell me sweetheart, what’s the story
Did you know me back then?
Was I a mess, did I live in chaos as I do now
Or was I zen?

So, tell me sweetheart, what’s the story
Did you know me back then?
Was I a mess, did I live in chaos as I do now
Or was I zen?


I know I raise my hands to the sky and lower my voice
So, I can whisper sweet nothings in yr. ear
But I swear to the sweet lord above I’ve always been this way
And only just realize how painful it can be

I know I raise my hands to the sky and lower my voice
So, I can whisper sweet nothings in yr. ear
But I swear to the sweet lord above I’ve always been this way
And only just realize how painful it can be

Sing ‘Jeff Buckley’ songs with me
Let us moan Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Sing ‘The Shins’ songs with me
But just a Simple Song, just a Simple Song, just a Simple Song
Sing ‘Jeff Buckley’ songs with me
Let me not scream, “Lover you should have come over,
over, over, over, over”
Sing ‘Daughter’ songs with me
Let us revel in our Youth
