Chords:  E   B   Dbm  A  
or transpose down 2 and capo 2 and play D A Bm G (easiest for beginning guitar or baritone uke)
or transpose down 4 and capo 4 and play C G Am F (easiest for most ukuleles)
There's another chord after the E in the verses and transitioning from verse to chorus, but I can't figure out
Paola sings the first three lines acapella but the chords are the same as when she reprises it again in the end.
He is chandeliers and velvet seats 
And the gentle echo of butterfly wings 
In drafty corners piled with silk and satin 
E
EHe’s the kind of boy who eats alone B  
                             E?
Never speaks of love; he’d rather it be shown 
He lingDbmers on long after yAou look at Bhim 
 E?
APainted in gold, and silver-tonguBed 
AMy oh my, he’s a precious one B  
But even precious poDbmrtraits can rattle their frEames 
He says life imitateDbms art, but they’re not Ethe same 
He’ll give Dbmyou the show, send the curBtain down in flAame 
E
EHe is rainy nights and cabarets B  
                                     E?                            
He is honey and charm, wrapped in a smoky haze 
But carDbmeful, darliAng; all that smoke will bliBnd you E  
EHe is shining knight, and villain too B  
                                                                          E?
He'll send thunder your way, then give the sky back its blue 
EHe’ll let you run, but just so he can find Byou again 
APainted in gold, and silver-tonguBed 
AMy oh my, he’s a precious one B  
But even precious poDbmrtraits can rattle their frEames 
He says life imitateDbms art, but they’re not Ethe same 
He’ll give Dbmyou the show, send the curtBain down in fAlame                 
But under all that Dbmfiery deBbris A  
He is a tEragedy in hiDbmmself 
Wounded so dBeep A  
That he wants to ruin somebody eDbmlse 
You could alEmost feel sorBry A  
But you’d never quite reach 
No, you’d never quite reach B  
APainted in gold, and silver-tonguBed 
AMy oh my, he’s a precious one B  
But even precious poDbmrtraits can fall from their Eframes 
He says life imitateDbms art, but they’re not Ethe same 
He’ll give Dbmyou the show, send the cuBrtain down in flAame E  
Send it down in flame, send it down in flame.
   E?
He is chandeliers, and velBvet seats  
                           E?
Quiet nights, but still he feels the sting
In drDbmafty corners yoBu can hear him weep.        E

There's another chord after the E in the verses and transitioning from verse to chorus, but I can't figure out

Paola sings the first three lines acapella but the chords are the same as when she reprises it again in the end.

He is chandeliers and velvet seats

And the gentle echo of butterfly wings

In drafty corners piled with silk and satin

E B

He’s the kind of boy who eats alone

Never speaks of love; he’d rather it be shown

Dbm A B

He lingers on long after you look at him

A B

Painted in gold, and silver-tongued

A B

My oh my, he’s a precious one

Dbm E

But even precious portraits can rattle their frames

Dbm E

He says life imitates art, but they’re not the same

Dbm B A

He’ll give you the show, send the curtain down in flame

E B

He is rainy nights and cabarets

He is honey and charm, wrapped in a smoky haze

Dbm A B E

But careful, darling; all that smoke will blind you

E B

He is shining knight, and villain too

He'll send thunder your way, then give the sky back its blue

E B

He’ll let you run, but just so he can find you again

A B

Painted in gold, and silver-tongued

A B

My oh my, he’s a precious one

Dbm E

But even precious portraits can rattle their frames

Dbm E

He says life imitates art, but they’re not the same

Dbm B A

He’ll give you the show, send the curtain down in flame

Dbm B A

But under all that fiery debris

E Dbm

He is a tragedy in himself

B A

Wounded so deep

Dbm

That he wants to ruin somebody else

E B A

You could almost feel sorry

But you’d never quite reach

No, you’d never quite reach

A B

Painted in gold, and silver-tongued

A B

My oh my, he’s a precious one

Dbm E

But even precious portraits can fall from their frames

Dbm E

He says life imitates art, but they’re not the same

Dbm B A E

He’ll give you the show, send the curtain down in flame

Send it down in flame, send it down in flame.

He is chandeliers, and velvet seats

Quiet nights, but still he feels the sting

Dbm B E

In drafty corners you can hear him weep.
