[Verse 1]
A            D            A                  D
Why should I worry when I know you're loving me?
A            D                 A        D
Why should I care when there's joy everywhere?
A           D       A      A/C#   D
Why can't I see the beauty of the life?

Turn the day into night, (put out the light),

[Post-Chorus]
A                     G
I got this little old melody,
D/F#                     A          A  A/C# D
  I think it's makin' it blue on me,
A               G
Then I hear the symphony,
D/F#
That's what I get, and,
D/F#                              A          A  A/C# D
That's what's been taking out the best of me.

Why can't I see the beauty of the life?
