All This Useless Beauty chords and lyrics - ELVIS COSTELLO

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]It'[G]s a[A]t t[D]ime[G]s s[A]uch as this[D],
she'd be [F#m]tempted to spit
If she [Bm]wasn't so lady[D]like
She ima[G]gines how she
might [D]have lived
Back when legends and [Em]history
[F#m]collide[G][A]

[Verse 2]
So she [D]looks to her prince,
[F#m]finding he's so charmingly
[Bm]Slumped at [D]her side
Those [G]days are recalled on
the [D]gallery wall
And she's [Bm]waiting for pas
[D]sion [E]or humor to strike

[Verse 3]
[A]What shall we do,
[G]what shall we do with all this useless [Em]beauty?
[G]All this use[A]less beauty[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]
Good Friday arrived,
the sky [F#m]darkened on time
[D]Till he [Bm]almost began to [D]negotiate
[G]She held his head like [D]a baby and said
"it's [Em]okay if [F#m]you cr[G]y"[A]
Now he [D]wants her to dress as if
[F#m]you couldn't gu[D]ess
He de[Bm]sires to impress his as[D]sociates
But he's [G]part ugly beast and
[D]Hellenic deceased
So she [Bm]finds that the mixture
[D]is [E]hard to deny

[Verse 5]
[A]What shall we do,
[G]what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
[Bm]All [G]this u[A]seless beaut[D]y

[Verse 6]
She won't [C]practice the looks from
[D]the great tragic book[G]s
That were later dis[D]graced
to face [Em]celluloid
It won't [C]even make sense,
[D]but you can [G]bet
If she [C]isn't a sweetheart
[D]or plaything [G]or pet
The [C]film turns [Em]her into [Bm]an
[D]unveiled thr[A]eat

[Verse 7]
[D]Nonsense prevails, [F#m]modesty fails
[D]Grace and [Bm]virtue turn into [D]stupidity
While the [G]calendar fades almost [D]all
barricades to a [Em]pale com[F#m]promise[G][A]
And our [D]leaders have feasts on the
back[F#m]sides [D]of beasts
They still [Bm]think they're
the gods of an[D]tiquity
If [G]something you missed
didn't [D]even exist
It was [Bm]just an ideal,
[D]is [E]it such a surprise?

[Verse 8]
[A]What shall we do,
[G]what shall we do with all this useless beau[Em]ty?
[G]All this [A]useless [D]beauty

[Verse 9]
[D]
[A]What shall we do,
[G]what shall we do with all this useless beau[Em]ty?
[D]All[G] this use[A]less beauty

[Outro 1]
[D]
