A
 Strange beside the pond
                  Bm
You look long and lovely

Like I remember you
A
I was on my break
                Bm
You had time to spare
                  A
And so we tried to...talk
              Bm
Or maybe just sit

Mmm-mmm

[Chorus]
A             D       B       Bm
'Cause things look beautiful when they're away from you
D      A          Bm               C#m
Things look beautiful when they're so new
D          A          B                              D
And thinks look beautiful when they're away from you

They seem to stay away from you

[Verse]
A
 The island boats was slow
                            Bm
We heard the Monkeys on the radio

The only song you know
A
I walked on for miles

You stood on heels
         Bm
I turned to wave to you
                       A
And then you started to...smile
         Bm
But it was stolen away

By some devil inside of you

[Chorus]
A             D       B       Bm
'Cause things look beautiful when they're away from you
D      A          Bm               C#m
Things look beautiful when they're so new
D          A          B                              D
And thinks look beautiful when they're away from you

They seem to stay away from you

[Verse]
A
Am I lying to you still

I can't move
Bm
I miss you so much

I miss you so much
A
I was trying to fix this loss

I've given up
Bm
I just stand and look at her

I just stand and look at her

[Chorus]
A             D       B       Bm
'Cause things look beautiful when they're away from you
D      A          Bm               C#m
Things look beautiful when they're so new
D          A          B                              D
And thinks look beautiful when they're away from you
                                A
They seem to stay away from you
