Meet you off the train drop you right back there again

It's bothered me for years everybody has their fears
        F#m                      E        B
Brother won't you help me if you can

But what makes me mad

They haven't got a care 'cept which clothes they're gonna wear

And which party they'll be goin' too

They're off to Leicester Square for the latest premiere

          F#m                   E
While I'm standin' here amusin' you

E
See them in the news and they've always got the blues
            F#m    
And they're always taking therapy

Daddy pays their bills while their chasing all their thrills

What a lucky man that I must be

What can be so bad

Why are the beautiful so sad?

I don't know who they think they are

With their fashion shows and their caviar

Kind of makes you glad

Wedding bells in the old Seychelles

Then the big divorce and the story sells

What a life they've had

Why are the beautiful so sad?

On the piste with the King of Spain

Drinking good champagne but they still complain

Don't it make you mad

Why are the beautiful so sad?
