but beautiful 
A7            D9     D7         G      G/F#      E7 
Beautiful to take a chance, and if you fall, you fall 
        Am      Am+7   Am7      Am6     D9 Am7 D7 
And I'm thinking that I wouldn't mind at all

Love is tearful       or it's gay

were mine, I'd never let you go 
     Am7       D7/9     Cdim  D7      G6 
And that would be but beautiful, I know
