Verse 1: [acoustic]  w/Rhy. Fig. 1 (6x)

Dsus2                                        F#m                 Dsus2
You’re the words that come out easy and I am speechless at best
                      F#m                   Dsus2
Your star it seems to shine above the rest
                                       F#m                     Dsus2
You’re the face before the cameras the smile I’d like to earn
                                   F#m               Dsus2
The closest thing to perfect in a Hollywood suburb
                                      F#m                  Dsus2
You’re the beauty that is deeper than eyes can merely see
                                      F#m  
The closest thing to perfect but the furthest thing from me


Chorus: [clean]  (2x)

F#m     E      A
I’d    love to be
     F#m      E        A
The shoulder that you cry on
F#m     E      A
I’d    love to be
               F#m        E          A
The friend you call when things are great


Break: [acoustic]  Dsus2  F#m  


Verse 2: [acoustic]  w/Rhy. Fig. 1 (6x)

Dsus2                                            F#m                Dsus2
You’re the dream that hasn’t ended and I’m still anxious for rest
                        F#m                Dsus2
Your words they seem to hang above my head
                                    F#m  
You’re the bud before the flower unfurls into full bloom
Dsus2                    F#m                 Dsus2
Captivating beauty but it may be all too soon
                                        F#m  
You’re the song that writes a story but leaves a lot to read
    Dsus2                             F#m  
The closest thing to perfect but the furthest thing from me


Prechorus: [clean]  F#m  E  A    F#m  E  Dsus2

Bridge 1: [clean & acoustic]

Dsus2                A                Dsus2
And like I really deserve a chance to sit across a table
     A                            Dsus2      A
And tell you that I think you’re wonderful
                     Dsus2            A
And I think you’re something special
Dsus2              A              Dsus2
I guess this is my only chance to say I wish I knew you
   A                    Dsus2       A
Because I’m sure you’re wonderful
       Dsus2            A
If I’d get to know you
