Tim Minchin feat Evie Irie - Beautiful Ugly

(from “Back To The Outback” soundtrack)

[Intro]
Gm

[Verse]
Gm
You are the real platonic ideal
Bb F
Of perfect poise and charm
C
You got a Mona Lisa smile, oh
C
The Venus de Milo
C Gm
Couldn’t touch you even if she had both of her arms
Gm
Nothing’s as sweet as the way that you treat me
Bb F
When everything is going right
C
But when you’re tired and grumpy
C
Or overly hungry
Eb
Man, it ain’t a pretty sight

[Pre-chorus]
F
What I’m tryna say
F
In every single way

[Chorus]
Ebmaj7
I think you’re beautiful
Bb F
But not when we’re having a fight
Ebmaj7
You are beautiful
Bb F
In certain types of light
Cm Eb F
It doesn’t matter what you say, there’s no point in denying
Ebmaj7
You are beautiful
Bb
Well, most of the time

[Verse]
Gm
When honey you’re lovely, you’re cuddly
Bb F
Your walk is the talk of the town
C
And when you’re feelin’ a groove
C
Then it’s true ya got moves
Eb
Like Jagger when the lights go down
Gm Gm
But in the morning light when you’ve had a big night
Bb F
Honey you’re a heck of a mess
C
You are the nicest girl
C
In the whole wide world
Eb
Unless you haven’t had your first Espresso (uh-oh)

[Pre-chorus]
F
The thing about you and me
F
We always agreed that

[Chorus]
Ebmaj7
Honesty is beautiful
Bb F
And honestly I think you’re fine
Ebmaj7
I mean, you’re beautiful
Bb F
About 84% of the time
Cm Eb F
(But every now and then I take a photo of you,
you look a little bit like a fish)
Ebmaj7
You are beautiful
Bb
Ish

[Bridge]
Bb
People who want you to be perfect
Dm
Believe me girl, they just ain’t worth it
Fm Gm
The surface can be fun, in time they’ll see the love undone
Eb Bb
I love every crease and crack of you
Eb Bb
The unfiltered front and back of you
C
The ugg-booted morning truth of you
Bb F
Wouldn’t change a single tooth of you
D
All those branded beauties
Gm F Cm
With their tanned and airbrushed booties

[Chorus]
Ebmaj7
Think they’re beautiful
Bb F
But they haven’t got the meaning right
Ebmaj7
You can’t be beautiful
Bb F
If you’re constantly adjusting your light
Cm Eb F
(It’s a pity but prettiness come and goes,
baby how can I make you see)
Ebmaj7
You are beautiful
Ebmaj7
You will always be beautiful
Ebmaj7
Utterly beautiful
Bb
To me
