Intro: 

G C Em C 

G 
I can barely sleep 
C 
There's something on my mind 
G 
I'm lying in the dark 
C 
I'm searching hard to find 
Em 
For the love that we shared 
C 
And the life I left behind 
C 
There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes 

G 
I can scream and shout 
C 
But what's the point it's done 
G 
Don't cry before you learn 
C 
Fly too close to the sun 
Em 
You're starting to lose faith 
C 
So hold on to your pride 
C 
There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes 

G 
What makes an angel fall in love? 
C                                   Em 
What makes a good man turn and run? 
Em         G                 C 
How do you know if she's the one? 

G 
I've made all the perfect turn of lies 
C 
And I've sugar coated my disguise 
C 
But I can't cover this up 
Em 
With sweet goodbyes, no 
C 
There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes 

G 
She's wrapped up in her thoughts 
C 
We haven't spoke in days 
G 
She's saying that I've changed 
C 
Still stuck in her ways 
Em 
I won't pick up the phone 
G 
I've said all there is to say 
C 
Gotta be strong 
C 
Because it's wrong for me to stay 


G                                C 
What makes an angel fall in love? 
C                                   Em 
What makes a good man turn and run? 
Em         G                 C 
How do you know if she's the one? 


G 
I've made all the perfect turn of lies 
C 
And I've sugar coated my disguise 
C 
But I can't cover this up 
Em 
With sweet goodbyes, no 
C 
There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes 

C 
Too many beautiful excuses 
                 D 
Tell me what the use is 
                 G 
Trying to find a way to come back home 
            C                         D 
How can we correct this if we're disconnected? 
G 
I don't know, I don't know. 


G 
What makes an angel fall in love? 
C                                   Em 
What makes a good man turn and run? 
Em         G                 C 
How do you know if she's the one? 

G 
I've made all the perfect turn of lies 
C 
And I've sugar coated my disguise 
C 
But I can't cover this up 
Em 
With sweet goodbyes, no 
C 
There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes
