         Fm         G#/C    C#
You're a sapphire, you're a rolling stone
          G#          D#
You're a sparkle in a deep black hole
            Fm        G#/C         C#
You're like moon shine,  when the curtains close
           G#               D#
You're my answer, one that no one knows

And I can't believe it, that you even exist
You know I would be dumb to give perfection up
How can I accept it, that this is so precious?
You know I would be dumb to give perfection up

Chorus:
       C# D# Fm G#
You're raaaaaaaare
        C#            D#                      Fm  G#
And I'm loving every second of it, don't you know?
       C# D# Fm G#
You're raaaaaaaare
C#          D#                      Fm G#
And only a stupid girl would let it go
C# D#      Fm           G#
You're so good and you don't even know it
C# D#      Fm           G#
You're so good and you don't even know it
       C# D# Fm G#
You're raaaaaaaare
C#          D#                      Fm G#
And only a stupid girl would let it go,
           Fm
don't you know?

I am broken
I am insecure
Complicated, oh yeah, that's for sure
I feel worthless
I've been hurt so bad
I get nervous you won't love me back

And I can't believe it, that you even exist
You know I would be dumb to give perfection up
How can I accept it, that this is so precious?
You know I would be dumb to give perfection up

Chorus

C#             G#        C#                      D#
Do you really think you wanna make some new memories
      D# G#
With me? Oooohh
C#             G#        C#                      D#
Do you really think you wanna make some new memories
      D#
With me?

Chorus:
You're rare
And I'm loving every second of it, don't you know?
You're rare
And only a stupid girl would let it go
You're so good and you don't even know it
You're so good and you don't even know
You're rare
And only a stupid girl would let it go

You're rare
And only a stupid girl would let it go
You're rare
And only a stupid girl would let it go,
don't you know?
