[Opening]
Gorgeous[C]
[C]You should take it as a compliment
That I got drunk and made fun of the way you [Am]talk [F]
[C]You should think about the consequence
Of your magnetic field being a little too [Am]strong [F]
And [C]I got a boyfriend, he’s older than us
[C]He’s in the club doing I don’t know what
[Am]You’re so cool it makes me hate you so much
(I [F]hate you so much)

[verse 2]
Whiskey on [F]ice, sunset and [Em]vine
You’ve ruined my [F]life by not being in [C]mine [G]

[chorus]
[C]You’re so gorgeous
I can’t say anything to your[Am] face
‘Cause look at your [F]face
[C]And I’m so furious
At you for making me feel this [Am]way
But what can I [F]say? You’re gorgeous

[verse 3]
[C]You should take it as a compliment
That I’m talking to everyone here but [Am]you [F]
[C]And you should think about the consequence
Of you touching my hand in the darkened [Am]room [F]
[C]If you’ve got a girlfriend, I’m jealous of her
[C]But if you’re single that’s honestly worse
[Am]’Cause you’re so gorgeous it actually hurts
[F](Honey, it hurts)

[verse 4]
Ocean blue [F]eyes looking in [Em]mine
I feel like I [F]might sink and drown and [C]die [G]

[chorus]
[C]You’re so gorgeous, I can’t say anything to your[Am] face
‘Cause look at your [F]face, [C]And I’m so furious
At you for making me feel this [Am]way
But what can I [F]say? You’re gorgeous

[Closing]
[F]You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah
[G]There’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t have
[Am]You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad
[F]You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah
[G]There’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t have
[Am]Guess I’ll just stumble on home to my cats
[G]Alone, (N.C) unless you wanna come along, oh!

[chorus]
[C]You’re so gorgeous, I can’t say anything to your[Am] face
‘Cause look at your [F]face, [C]And I’m so furious
At you for making me feel this [Am]way
But what can I [F]say? You’re gorgeous

[chorus]
[C]You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah
[Am]There’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t have
[F]You are so gorgeous it makes me so [G]mad
[G]You’re gorgeous…

[chorus]
[C]You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah
[Am]There’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t have
[F]You are so gorgeous it makes me so [G]mad
[G]You’re gorgeous…
