1.     Beautiful people,        you live in the same world as I do,

            C                - D                         F                    D

    but somehow I         never noticed you before today,

    I'm ashamed to sa......y.

2.     Beautiful people,        we share the same back door,

       C             E       - D                  F

    and it isn't right,        we never met before,

             D                  F                  G

    but then we may never meet again.

            F                            G

    If I weren't afraid you'd laugh at me,

                  F                               G

    I would run and take all your hands,

            - E                  D                                     A

    and        I'd gather everyone together for a day,

                            D                                                    A

    and when we gathered, I'll pass buttons out that say...

3.    Beautiful people,       then you'd never be alone, ‘cause

C                          E                  - D                F                            D

    there'll always be someone       with the same button on as you,

                            F                      G

    include him in everything you do.

4.     Beautiful people,       you ride the same subway

        C                 E          - D                     F                          

    as I do ev'ry morning,       that's got to tell you something.

D                          F                        - D            F                               D

    We've got so much in common,     I go the same direction that you do,

              F                       G                F                      G  

    so if you take care of me, maybe I'll take care of you.
