temporary beauty chords and lyrics - GRAHAM PARKER

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]You [F]have[C] to [G]do your [Am]best to c[F]ome u[C]p t[G]o par,[Ebm]
from straight off the
Production line like a car,
Till everything you put on is a put- on,
and you don't know who's face
You're gazing upon
Could be anyone you're sending out there tonight,
is it any wonder all of
The lights are too [Am]bright?
And you need [F]temporary [C]beauty,
and pray to God that [G]it doesn't [Am]rain
You need [F]temporary beauty,
[C]even tho[G]ugh it [Ebm]might be love in vain
The world is full of little people like you,
they have to read a book to
Learn what to do
They hang around in [Am]second - hand[?] clothes,
[F]and [C]every kind of pre[G]ssure
Steps on [Ebm]their toes
Love [Em]doesn't fall out [C]of [Am]a magazine,
you [F]mustn't always [C]believe [G]what [Am]you've seen
And you need [F]temporary beauty,
[C]and pra[G]y to God[Ebm] that it doesn't rain
You need temporary beauty,
even though it might be love in vain
Ah- ah temporary beauty, ah- ah temporary beauty,
ah- ah temporary beauty
You might be the sweetest little
[Am]girl in yo[F]ur heart[C],
But still the [G]world [?] knows that
[Am]and tears you [F]apar[C]t
You think of the [G]parties you'll never attend,
[Ebm]you dream of someone who's
More than a friend
Love doesn't jump out of a magazine,
you mustn't always believe what you've seen
And you need temporary beauty,
and pray to God that it doesn't rain
You need temporary beauty,
even though it might be love, even though it
Might be love,
Even though it might be love in vain
