Lori McKenna Beautiful Man Lyrics

DADGAD
Capo III

D: 000200
G: 550000 (at the end of each line, hammer on the 5th fret on the 6th string)
A: 002200
Bm: 024000

In the intro and at the end of each chorus, there's a little argeggio-esque thingy going on where Lori fingers the 4th fret on the second string (000240) along with the standard D. You don't have to do it, but try it for some extra color.

Intro: (D)(G) . . . (D)(G)

(D)Well I should have told you I sold my soul to an (G)angel
I should have (D)told you this world is not my (G)own
(D) I should have wrapped you, wrapped you like a (G)present
I should have (D)gotten to you before you were (G)grown (D)(G)

(D)I should have whispered in your ear when you were (G)lonely
I should have (D)taken you, taken you by the (G)hand
(D)I should have told you you are, you are (G)worthy
I should have (D)shown you, you are, you are a beautiful (G)man

I want to (A)save you from yourself
I want to (Bm)save you from (G)everybody else
I want to (A)be inside you when I can
And I am (G)doing the best that I can
For my beautiful (D)man (G)(D)(G)

(D)I should have told you I would be (G)difficult
(D)I should have shown you the scars on my (G)soul
I should have (D)told you I wanted you to take (G)care of me
Without al(D)lowing you any of my con(G)trol

And I want to (A)save you from myself
I want to (Bm)save you from (G)everybody else
I want to (A)be inside you when I can
And I am (G)doing the best that I can
You (D)beautiful man (G)
I am doing the best that I (D)can
Oh, you beautiful (G)man

(D)I should have told you I was not (G)good enough for you
(D)I should have whispered I am un(G)kind

I want to (A)save you from yourself
I want to (Bm)save you from (G)everybody else
I want to (A)save you from myself
I am (G)doing the best that I can
For my beautiful . . .
. . . (A)save you from yourself
I want to (Bm)save you from (G)everybody else
I want to (A)save you from yourself
And I am (G)doing the best that I can
For my beautiful (D)man (G)
For my beautiful (D)man (G)(D)
