Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

This is the moment that you know

 That you told her that you loved her but you don't.

 You touch her skin and then you think

 That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.

 Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.

I spent two weeks in Silverlake

 The California sun cascading down my face

 There was a girl with light brown streaks

 And she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.

 Yeah she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.

 I wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking

 As we moved together in the dark

 And all the friends that i was telling

 And all the playful misspellings

 And every bite i gave you left a mark

Tiny vessels oozed into your neck

 And formed the bruises

 That you said you didn't want to fade

 But they did and so did i that day

 All i see are dark grey clouds

 In the distance moving closer with every hour

 So when you ask "was something wrong?"

 That i think "you're damn right there is,

 but we can't talk about it now.

 No, we can't talk about it now."

 So one last touch and then you'll go

 And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more

 But it was vile, and it was cheap

 And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me

 Yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me [x2]
