Benson Boone - Beautiful Things Chords

[Intro]
Eb Bb F
 
[Verse 1]
        Eb                 Bb
For a while there it was rough
            F                 Gm
But lately, I've been doin' better
         Eb                 Bb             F
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
             Eb              Bb
And I see my family every month
          F                Gm
I found a girl my parents love
                Eb                    Bb                          F
She'll come and stay the night, and I   think I might have it all
         Eb            Bb
And I thank God every day
        F       Gbdim7  Gm
For the girl he sent my way
      Eb                 Bb                       F
But I know the things he gives me, he can take away
      Eb                Bb
And I hold you every night
              Gm         F       Eb
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
               Cm                      F                          Eb Bb
But there's no man as terrified as the man who stands to lose you
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                   F        Gm
Oh, I hope I don't losе you
  Eb        Bb     F
Mm   please   stay
  Gm                       Eb
I want you, I need you, oh God
      Bb      F
Don't    take
                                 Eb
Thеse beautiful things that I've got
 
[Chorus]
       Bb     Gm
Please   stay
  F                        Eb
I want you, I need you, oh God
      Bb      Gm
Don't    take
      F                          Eb
Thеse beautiful things that I've got
 
[Post-Chorus]
         Bb      Gm  F     Eb
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
       Bb       F
Please    don't take
 
[Verse 2]
           Eb                Bb
I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane
            F                         Gm
It's been a while, but I'm finding my faith
                Eb                          Bb                       F
If everything's good and it's great, why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone?
                    Eb              Bb
Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough
         F         Gbdim7   Gm
I've got peace and I've got love
        Eb                   Bb                   F
But I'm up at night thinkin' I just might lose it all
 
[Chorus]
Eb        Bb      Gm
   Please    stay
  F                        Eb
I want you, I need you, oh God
      Bb      Gm
Don't    take
      F                          Eb
Thеse beautiful things that I've got
 
[Post-Chorus]
         Bb      Gm  F     Eb
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
 
[Outro]
       Bb      F
Please    stay
                           Eb
I want you, I need you, oh God
  Bb      F
I    need
 
These beautiful things that I've got
