Isn't It Beautiful? chords by McCafferty (Official Version)
Verse 1
C
F
We were all at Matt’s house
Am
in the basement
Em
C
hanging out and gettin drunk
F
Am
We took the blood from both our fingers
Em
C
and we pressed it on our tongues
F
Am
We’re in the forest with the trees
Em
C
And this is so much history
F
Am
Em
Well, what about my history?
Verse 2
Coward
C
F
I don't know what to tell you man
Am
Those jokes are three years old
Em
And I didn't know anyone
C
was uncomfortable
F
Yeah well I hope you
Am
and your fucking kids starve, man
Em
And I hope that Wes
C
F
fucking dies in a car crash
Am
And how about I fucking trash his bar
Em
C
So you guys can't make anything else
'Cause you guys think
F
you're fuckin' better than me
Am
Em
And I am not out of line
C
F
She said that I cannot identify with a band
Am
Unless I know everything
Em
about their lead singer
C
What does he look like?
F
What are his motives?
Am
She said that he hates her
Em
Said that he hit her
C
F
And I will be the first to admit
Am
That there is something wrong
Em
inside of my brain
C
F
My bipolar makes me feel foggy
Am
Em
And I am developmentally delayed
C
And sometimes I lash out
F
And I hit
Am
Em
Like a child who was taught not to hit
C
F
But I know I am better than that
Am
Em
So I have been in rehabilitation and therapy
Verse 3
C
F
It's hard for me to feel like I'm growing
Am
F
When I read all of these things online
C
F
But I know maturity is the journey
Am
Em
And hail Satan, I have arrived
C
F
I've let my mental illness define
Am
Em
The last 10 years of my life
C
F
In social circles that were bad for me
Am
Em
Acting out and fighting online
C
I hate when people say
F
they have mental illness
Am
Em
But they still know how to act
C
F
I think they think that they can fool you
Am
Em
With bravery and judgement and fact
Verse 4
C
F
I am happy that all my personal struggles
Am
Have been aired out for you all to see
Em
C
F
Because the choice to accept mental illness
Am
Em
is no longer just up to me
C
It is up to you to see what I've done
F
Under the microscope
Am
Em
My entire life
C
Narcissistic mentally
F
Am
When I see people come in
Em
and try to define
C
F
My complicated spirit
Am
Em
And my complicated soul
C
F
I am mentally unwell
Am
Em
But like you I have a soul
Verse 5
C
F
And I am not the person that they say I am
Am
Em
But those parts of me exist
C
They are toxic
F
They are evil
Am
I'm disgusted
Em
Just like him
C
F
And I abused my medication
Am
Em
And I lied and said I'm fine
C
But I was angry
F
Am
Saying "faggot" behind closed doors
Em
and still online
C
And I could talk about
F
the suicide attempts I've had
Am
Em
Since everything went up
C
F
And the four weeks I spent hospitalized
Am
But you would tell me
Em
that it's not enough
C
So what exactly is enough?
F
Am
How much hate does it take
Em
to fix an abuser's mental state
C
And mind
F
To make sure that at the same time
Am
He gets his?
Em
And we talk about ac
Verse 6
C
countability
F
Am
Em
And what that looks like individually
So let me own up
C
F
Right here right now
Am
Em
And say I take full accountability
C
F
For being toxic and abusive
Am
Em
And misleading with my life
C
F
And for anger that we pray for
Am
When I cry for you at night
Em
C
And you know you don't forgive
F
And I know you won't forget
Am
Em
And I'm glad you all feel better
C
F
For the things that you said
Am
And I am sorry for the pain
Em
And the things that I have said
C
F
And the people that I threatened
Am
Em
And I still wish that I was dead
C
F
And if I had a normal brain
Am
Then everything would be the same
Em
But I don't
Bridge 1
C
Am
F
C
I'm writing this letter
Am
F
to apologize to everyone I hurt
C
I wish I could take back the things
Am
I have said and done
F
But I am unable
C
I found out recently that I have BPD
Am
F
And that doesn't excuse my actions
C
But it's quite the opposite
Am
I am ashamed at my lack of maturity
F
To follow through with
C
enough doctors and medication
Am
And I lied when I said
F
I was on a path to recovery
C
I was actually on a downwards spiral
Am
Abusing Xanax
F
C
and those who were close to me
Am
And those people from Medina
F
know I'm mentally ill
C
But they set the precedence that I was not
Am
F
Which is my fault
C
I know that the best thing for my family
Am
and my future
F
Is to step away from music
C
and the public eye
Am
F
And I had this sickening drive to succeed
C
And I was insanely jealous
Of bands like The Front Bottoms
Am
F
But that's the eighteen- year- old me
C
I never grew out of being
Am
So let me transition now
F
into being an adult
D7sus4
I'm speaking to my daughter and my wife
And I want you to know
F
How beautiful you are
C
And how I lay awake at night
Am
F
Studying how I can become a better man
C
And separate myself from the things
that are bad for me
Am
And I love you more
F
C
than fall loves autumn leaves
And I love the idea
Am
F
Of leaving McCafferty behind
Outro 1
C
And that's exactly what I'm doing
Right here
Am
Right now
F
There are many lessons I have learned
C
from my journey
Am
And when I look back at it
F
C
Those lessons take time and pain to set in
Am
I am sorry to everyone
F
for my lack of social skills
C
F
And making people uncomfortable
Am
And I wanna thank everyone
Em
who has listened
C
F
If you are someone
Am
With a past that you regret
Em
C
Let these words be your safe place
F
Am
Em
C
F
Am
Em
I'm done
