Forever Beautiful - from "War Paint", Patti LuPone as Helena Rubinstein
https://youtu.be/G_DYovKpgig
[Intro]
(Helena Rubinstein speaking)
C G C
These portraits ... they trap me in amber.
They will not age.
They will live forever.
[Verse 1]
C
My Dali dear,
That mad surrealist,
F
He made me beautiful
D
Forever Beautiful
Db E
My eyes like gems,
C D
Notice, please, each tiny lash
Ab C
Would you believe he painted with his own mustache?
[Verse 2]
C
Raoul Dufy,
Ebm
A brilliant colorist
B D
He made me beautiful
Forever Beautiful
Db C
A few deft strokes
Poppy red and iris blue
Ab G C
In my small way I do know something of this too
[Verse 3]
C
Made women glorious, Made women glamorous
F
Used all my art to halt the march of time
D Gb
I slowed it down a bit,
F
There is no stopping it,
Gb F
But in a painting it is always your prime
B F
Right?
[Verse 4]
C
Tamara de Lempicka
She was bisexual
Ebm
You see her love for me,
D
But it's sub-textual
Db C
My lifelong fight
Is to keep my figure trim
Ab C
But now I eat 'cause Giacometti keeps me slim
[Bridge]
(First man speaking)
C
Seven guest rooms. When was the last time she even had a visitor?
(Second man speaking)
She's old, and scared.
(First man speaking)
B
Wouldn't you be?
[Verse 4]
Ab
Good, go then, you money men
Ebm Bbm
I read your beady eyes:
Ebm Ab
'Vain old lady all alone
Db C Bbm
In bed until she dies
[Verse 5]
Bbm
I admit,
C Ab
I am a little bit afraid to me-et death,
D Bbm
But with my brilliant eye for art,
G D
When I depart,
B
I'll cheat death
[Verse 6]
Db
With my Picasso
His early cubist years
Gb
I posed no clothes with him,
Ebm
Thank God, who knows with him?
Bbm Db Ebm
He says 'Your ears are like elephant in size
G Db Ab Db
I say from you, well, who can tell from ears or eyes?
[Verse 7]
Db
When I was girl of eight,
G
My papa sneered at me
Ab Db C
A plainer face he'd never seen before
G
I said to hell with fate,
Db
I'll mold my destiny,
Ab Db
Packed my satchel and walked right out the door
[Verse 8]
Db
From discontented life
Ab Db
Without a cent I was
C
Became a name the world could not ignore
[Verse 9]
C
I reinvent my life
B
As every artist does
Bbm
I had nothing, I knew nothing
G Gb
I only know there must be something more
Ab E
So much more
[Verse 10]
Db
Look at them all
E
Their light will never dim
Db Gb
If death should come for me,
F
They bar the door on him
Db
Though flesh may fade,
Bbm Db
Canvas lives immortally,
C
And there I'll hang from now through all eternity
[Verse 11]
D
Who gives a damn?
No children visit me
Ab G
These are my pro-ge-ny
Each an exquisite me
[Verse 12]
B
Who says I'm old?
D G
I look at my life so far
E
And I am beautiful, And I feel beautiful
C D
Forever beautiful
B Ab C
When you feel beautiful,
D
You are
[Outro]
G F D
