Temporary Beauty — текст песни (Graham Parker)

[E,A,E,B / E,A,E,B]
[for the intro, play E with an F# added on the high
E string, and then a normal E chord for the second
strum. Tack that F# onto the A chord as well.]

E A C#m
You have to do your best to come up to par,
A B E
from straight off the production line like a car,
E A C#m
Till everything you put on is a put-on,
A F#m
and you don`t know who`s face you`re gazing upon
C#m A
Could be anyone you`re sending out there tonight,
C#m B
is it any wonder all the lights are too bright?
E A
And you need temporary beauty,
G#m E B
and hope to God that it doesn`t rain
E A
You need temporary beauty,
G#m C#m F#m B E [like intro}
even though it might be love in vain

The world is full of little people like you
They have to read a book to learn what to do
They hang around in second hand stores for clothes
And every kind of pressures steps on their toes
Love doesn`t fall out of a magazine
You mustn`t always believe what you see

[chorus]
A B A B
Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty, ah-ah-ah temporary beauty,
A B A E E B
Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty

You might be the sweetest little girl in your heart
But still the world ignores that and tears you apart
You think of the parties you`ll never attend
You dream of someone who`s more than a friend
Love doesn`t jump out of a magazine
You mustn`t always believe what you see

E A
And you need temporary beauty,
G#m E B
and hope to God that it doesn`t rain
E A
You need temporary beauty,
G#m C#m F#m B [3 times]
even though it might be love, [3 times]


in vain (like intro)[notes played behind the apo]
