F#m D/E A This is the moment that you know Bm D/E F#m That you told her that you loved her but you don't. D E You touch her skin and then you think Bm That she is beautiful but F#m she don't mean a thing to me. D Yeah, she is beautiful but A she don't mean a thing to me. I spent two weeks In Silver Lake The California sun cascading down my face There was a girl With light brown streaks And she was beautiful But she didn't mean a thing to me Yeah, she was beautiful But she didn't mean a thing to me Chorus: D D#mid7 I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking F#m As we moved together in the dark D And all the friends that I was telling D#dim7 And all the playful misspellings F#m And every bite I gave you left a mark D When tiny vessels oozed into your D#mid7 neck and formed the bruises F#m That you said you didn't want to fade Esus4 E But they did, and so did I that day And all I see Are dark grey clouds In the distance, moving closer with every hour So when you ask, "Is something wrong?" I think, "You're damn right there is But we can't talk about it now" No, we can't talk about it now So one last touch, and then you'll go And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more But it was vile, and it was cheap And you are beautiful But you don't mean a thing to me Yeah, you are beautiful But you don't mean a thing to me Yeah, you are beautiful But you don't mean a thing to me You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D D#m D#dim D#dim7 E Esus4 F#m Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
