A 
                                    G D A
You pulled up and parked your El Dorado
                                     G D A
We said "hi" and kissed with some bravado
                            G  D   A
I got out my camera and was laughing
                         G    D  A
Happy it was you I'm photographing

       G            D     A     
And we drove to the ferry
         G          D     A
Like the cat and canary
         G          D     A
I said, "Baby, it's scary
             Em
When it's so beautiful

            F#m
Why does it hurt me
           Bm
To feel so much tenderness?
Em
Beautiful
A          G  D    A  
You little wonder, you"


                                G      D   A
Maybe then I held your hand and kissed you
                                  G   D   A
I know once I just hauled off and hit you
         G          D        A
'Cause I can't even stand it
         G             D      A
'Cause I don't want to end it
      G         D      A
To be perfectly candid, 
             Em
Baby, you're beautiful

             F#m
Sometimes it hurts me
        Bm  
To feel so much tenderness
Em
Beautiful
A              G   D   A
Wish you could see it, too


    F#m           D    A
And all I have to do today
   Em   D      A
Is make you happy
    F#m            D       A
The only thing you have to say
     Em   D       A  F#m Bm  A
Is, "It's all lovely, baby"

                                     G    D   A
Late that night, we checked into the Bellevue
                                     G    D   A
Held you close, but, baby - couldn't tell you
       G             D       A
And we stayed in our Calvins
       G             D            A
And we swore we'd be best friends
      G                  D         A
And I looked through the zoom lens
                     Em
And thought you were beautiful

             F#m
Sometimes it hurts me
        Bm
To feel so much tenderness
Em
Beautiful
          F#m
Baby, I'm dazzled
     Bm
By the view
Em
Beautiful

                  F#m
You don't need to tell me
       Bm
I'm completely powerless
Em
Beautiful
  A              G   D   A
I wish you could see it, too
                 G   D   A
I wish you could see it, too
                 G   D   A
I wish you could see it, too
          G D   A
Baby, how I see you
