Capo 1
[Intro]
G C Em C
GI can barely sleep
CThere's something on my mind
GI'm lying in the dark
CI'm searching hard to find
EmFor the love that we shared
CAnd the life I left behind
CThere's only beautiful excuses in my eyes
GI can scream and shout
CBut what's the point it's done
GDon't cry before you learn
CFly too close to the sun
EmYou're starting to lose faith
CSo hold on to your pride
CThere's only beautiful excuses in my eyes
GWhat makes an angel fall in love?
CWhat makes a good man turn and run?Em  
EmHow do you Gknow if she's the Cone?
GI've made all the perfect turn of lies
CAnd I've sugar coated my disguise
CBut I can't cover this up
EmWith sweet goodbyes, no
CThere's only beautiful excuses in my eyes
GShe's wrapped up in her thoughts
CWe haven't spoke in days
GShe's saying that I've changed
CStill stuck in her ways
EmI won't pick up the phone
GI've said all there is to say
CGotta be strong
CBecause it's wrong for me to stay
GWhat makes an angel fall in love?C  
CWhat makes a good man turn and run?Em  
EmHow do you Gknow if she's the Cone?
GI've made all the perfect turn of lies
CAnd I've sugar coated my disguise
CBut I can't cover this up
EmWith sweet goodbyes, no
CThere's only beautiful excuses in my eyes
CToo many beautiful excuses
Tell me what the Duse is
Trying to find a Gway to come back home
How can we cCorrect this if we're discoDnnected?
GI don't know, I don't know.
GWhat makes an angel fall in love?
CWhat makes a good man turn and run?Em  
EmHow do you Gknow if she's the Cone?
GI've made all the perfect turn of lies
CAnd I've sugar coated my disguise
CBut I can't cover this up
EmWith sweet goodbyes, no
CThere's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

Capo 1

[Intro]

G C Em C

I can barely sleep

There's something on my mind

I'm lying in the dark

I'm searching hard to find

For the love that we shared

And the life I left behind

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

I can scream and shout

But what's the point it's done

Don't cry before you learn

Fly too close to the sun

You're starting to lose faith

So hold on to your pride

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

What makes an angel fall in love?

C Em

What makes a good man turn and run?

Em G C

How do you know if she's the one?

I've made all the perfect turn of lies

And I've sugar coated my disguise

But I can't cover this up

With sweet goodbyes, no

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

She's wrapped up in her thoughts

We haven't spoke in days

She's saying that I've changed

Still stuck in her ways

I won't pick up the phone

I've said all there is to say

Gotta be strong

Because it's wrong for me to stay

G C

What makes an angel fall in love?

C Em

What makes a good man turn and run?

Em G C

How do you know if she's the one?

I've made all the perfect turn of lies

And I've sugar coated my disguise

But I can't cover this up

With sweet goodbyes, no

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

Too many beautiful excuses

Tell me what the use is

Trying to find a way to come back home

C D

How can we correct this if we're disconnected?

I don't know, I don't know.

What makes an angel fall in love?

C Em

What makes a good man turn and run?

Em G C

How do you know if she's the one?

I've made all the perfect turn of lies

And I've sugar coated my disguise

But I can't cover this up

With sweet goodbyes, no

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

[Outro]
