for the rhythm its somewhat of a reggae style . the timing for the changes aren’t
exact here , this took a long time so i got lazy about making it perfect . should
be enough to get it though . . . enjoy!

intro : E

E
look at the buggers who are looting the crash site ,
taking the ring off your sweet little finger
A E
that i gave you to , oh , when we got married .

E
you’re under water , now you’re back where you came from ,
no stealing the beauty that would naturally flow from ,
A E
the center of all that you are , all that you are .

C#m G#m
and your beauty must be rubbing off ,
A F#m B
your beauty must be rubbing off on me .

E
if we had children , they’d be lovely and beautiful ,
and possess a peace and a strength and a depth
A
in their eyes and a soundness in heart ,
E
even as they cry . . . rawr .

and we as lovers bloom like lilies in midnight
to taste our bellies before god
we are witness to currents we cannot control , cannot control

C#m G#m
and your beauty must be rubbing off ,
A F#m C#m
your beauty must be rubbing off on me ,
G#m
your beauty must be rubbing off ,
A F#m B
your beauty must be rubbing off on me .

F#m B E
you tore the faces that you never had ,
A
all that you never passed ,
F#m B
to the shivers you couldn’t shake ,
E
the planes you didn’t make ,
A
the bus that didn’t take off that night .
( repeat pattern )

in the window as you fight for the courage ,
to cover up your nakedness ,
for the neighbors gave such a sweet display
of nothingness , of everything ,
oh , i’ll never mind the things i find ,
the sweetest sunset for a goddess tonight .

A G#m F#m E ( x2 )

F#m A E

( return to verse chords )
and let me say you look lovely in all of this ,
and let me say that the death that i fear ,
could in part be the fear that i’d lose you ,
just as i’ve found you . . . rawr!

and your beauty must be rubbing off ,
your beauty must be rubbing off on me ,
your beauty must be rubbing off ,
your beauty must be rubbing off on me .

E
don’t be a stranger to the danger that is kissing you .
don’t be a stranger to the danger that is kissing you .
F#m A
your beauty must be rubbing off . . . ow!

E
don’t be a stranger to the danger that is kissing you .
don’t be a stranger to the danger that is kissing you .
F#m A
and your beauty must be rubbing off . .
