/G---/G/F#---/Em7---/Cadd9---/   *and then...

G                  G/F#   Em7   Cadd9
My life is brilliant


VERSE 1
G                     G/F#
My life is brilliant,  My love is pure
Em7             Cadd9
I saw an angel,   Of that I’m sure
    G                                   G/F#
She smiled at me on the subway, She was with another man
   Em7                                    Cadd9      D/F#
But I won’t lose no sleep on that, ‘Cause I’ve got a plan


CHORUS
Cadd9        D/F#    Em7         D/F#
You’re beautiful,    You’re beautiful
Cadd9        D/F#      G
You’re beautiful, it’s true
  Cadd9    D/F#      G   D/F#    Em7
I saw your face in a crowded     place,
      Cadd9      D/F#    Em7
And I don’t know what to do
            Cadd9    D/F#    G   G/F#   Em7   Cadd9
‘Cause I’ll never    be with you


INTERLUDE
/G---/G/F#---/Em7---/Cadd9---/   *play lead riff here


VERSE 2
          G                     G/F#
Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by
          Em7                         Cadd9
She could see from my face that I was,  flying high
   G                        G/F#
And I don’t think that I’ll see her again
   Em7                           Cadd9     
But we shared a moment that will last till the end


CHORUS
Cadd9        D/F#    Em7          D/F#
You’re beautiful,    You’re beautiful
Cadd9        D/F#      G
You’re beautiful, it’s true
  Cadd9    D/F#      G   D/F#    Em7
I saw your face in a crowded     place,
      Cadd9      D/F#    Em7
And I don’t know what to do
            Cadd9    D/F#    G   G/F#   Em7  
‘Cause I’ll never    be with you


BRIDGE
Cadd9       Em7           Cadd9        D/F#
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la


CHORUS
Cadd9        D/F#    Em7         D/F#
You’re beautiful,    You’re beautiful
Cadd9        D/F#      G
You’re beautiful, it’s true
     Cadd9       D/F#         G       D/F#    Em7
There must be an angel with a smile on her   face
          Cadd9                   D/F#        G   D/F#   Em7
When she thought up that I should be with you
            Cadd9    D/F#     G   G/F#   Em7
But it’s time to face the truth
       Cadd9    D/F#     G
I will never    be with you
