This should be played on a 12 string guitar with capo at 3rd fret (Eb)
This is what I was able to see looking at Steven Rothery while playing live and acoustic in Riccione some
7 years ago.
I'm afraid I have no youtube video to attach to this: I was too busy enjoying the set to film it, sorry...
C         Em7                Am                    G Gadd11 G   F/C C6add11 F/C         G Gadd11 G6
Everybody knows we live in a world where they give bad names to beautiful things
C         Em7                Am                    G Gadd11 G   F/C C6add11 F/C         G Gadd11 G6
Everybody knows we live in a world where we don't give beautiful things a second glance
C         Em7                Am                    G Gadd11 G   F/C C6add11 F/C         G Gadd11 G6
Heaven only knows we live in a world where what we call beautiful is just something on sale
C         Em7                Am                    G Gadd11 G   F/C C6add11 F/C         G Gadd11 G6
People laughing behind their hands As the fragile and the sensitive are given no chance
C              Em7       Am     G Gadd11 G
And the leaves turn from red to brown
F/C   C6add11 F/C
To be trodden down
G     Gadd11  G6
To be trodden down
C              Em7       Am     G Gadd11 G
And the leaves turn from red to brown
F/C C6add11 F/C
Fall to the ground
G     Gadd11  G6
Fall to the ground
C                Em7       Am    G Gadd11 G    F/C C6add11 F/C G     Gadd11  G6
We don't have to live in a world where we give bad names to beautiful things
C         Em7       Am        G Gadd11 G
We should live in a beautiful world
F/C  C6add11   F/C         G     Gadd11  G6
We should give beautiful a second glance
C              Em7       Am     G Gadd11 G
And the leaves fall from red to brown
F/C   C6add11 F/C
To be trodden down
G     Gadd11  G6
Trodden down
C              Em7       Am     G Gadd11 G
And the leaves turn green to red to brown
F/C   C6add11 F/C
Fall to the ground
G     Gadd11  G6
And get kicked around
Am7        Dadd11    F7
You strong enough to be..
Am7          Dadd11   F7
Have you the faith to be..
Am7  Dadd11    F7
Sane enough to be ..
F7               Am7
Honest enough to say..
Am7        Dadd11    F7
Don't have to be the same..
Am7        Dadd11     F7
Don't have to be this way
Am7       Dadd11    F7
C'mon and sign your name
F               G         Em
You wild enough to remain beautiful?
F               G         Em
Beautiful
C              Em7       Am     G Gadd11 G
All the leaves turn from red to brown
F/C   C6add11 F/C
To be trodden down
G     Gadd11  G6
Trodden down
C              Em7       Am     G Gadd11 G
And we all fall green to red to brown
F/C   C6add11 F/C
Fall to the ground
G          Gadd11  G6
But we can turn it around
Am7 Dadd11 F7
You strong enough to be..
Am7 Dadd11 F7
Why don't you stand up and say
Am7 Dadd11 F7
Give yourself a break
Am7 Dadd11 F7
They laugh at you anyway
F G Em
So why don't you stand up and be
F G Em
Beautiful.
C              Em7       Am     G Gadd11 G
Black, white, red, gold, and brown
F/C   C6add11 F/C
We're stuck in this world
G     Gadd11  G6
Nowhere to go
C              Em7       Am     G Gadd11 G
Turnin' around
F/C   C6add11 F/C
What are you so afraid of?
G     Gadd11  G6
Show us what you're made of
C              Em7       Am     G Gadd11 G
Be yourself and be beautiful
F/C   C6add11 F/C
