Verse 1

D I knew a girl who said that beauty kills, E/D Dulled the pain with wine and pills, G G6 D Dsus2 Took that slow ride down the hill--- ...to nowhere, D She said, "Pompeii crumbled, and Athens fell, E/D Heathens stormed the citadel, G A girl like me ain't got a chance in hell... D Dsus4 D ...against 'em!"

Chorus

D Am Am7 Oh, ...pretty things, (Pretty things-----!) G D Dsus2 Pretty things gone ...to ruin, (Pretty things!) D Am Am7 Oh, ...pretty things, (Pretty things-----!) G D Dsus2 Pretty things gone ...to ruin

Verse 2

D Rained three days, E/D When we awoke ...sun came out and the levee broke, G D Dsus2 Like some cruel and cosmic joke God's ...playing, D I don’t pretend that I believe, E/D Esus4/D I know there ain’t no guaran - tees, G Still, morning finds me on my knees... D Dsus4 D ...and praying!

Chorus

Verse 3

D Come the flood, you build an ark, E/D Come the night, you curse the dark, G D Dsus2 Inside your broken heart you bear ...the crosses, D Some of us have got it made, E/D Some of us have more than paid, G We’re all marching in this slow parade... D Dsus4 D ...of losses!
