[Verse 1]
D
I knew a girl who said that beauty kills,
E/D
Dulled the pain with wine and pills,
G G6 D Dsus2
Took that slow ride down the hill--- ...to nowhere,
D
She said, 'Pompeii crumbled, and Athens fell,
E/D
Heathens stormed the citadel,
G D Dsus4 D
A girl like me ain’t got a chance in hell ...against ‘em!'
[Chorus]
D Am Am7
Oh, ...pretty things, (Pretty things-----!)
G D Dsus2
Pretty things gone ...to ruin, (Pretty things!)
D Am Am7
Oh, ...pretty things, (Pretty things-----!)
G D Dsus2
Pretty things gone ...to ruin!
[Verse 2]
D E/D
Rained three days, when we awoke ...sun came out and the levee broke,
G D Dsus2
Like some cruel and cosmic joke God’s ...playing,
D E/D Esus4/D
I don’t pretend that I believe, I know there ain’t no guaran - tees,
G D Dsus4 D
Still, morning finds me on my knees ...and praying!
[Chorus]
D Am Am7
Oh, ...pretty things, (Pretty things-----!)
G D Dsus2
Pretty things gone ...to ruin, (Pretty things!)
D Am Am7
Oh, ...pretty things, (Pretty things-----!)
G D Dsus2
Pretty things gone ...to ruin!

[Verse 3]
D
Come the flood, you build an ark,
E/D
Come the night, you curse the dark,
G D Dsus2
Inside your broken heart you bear ...the crosses,
D E/D
Some of us have got it made, some of us have more than paid,
G D Dsus4 D
We’re all marching in this slow parade ...of losses!
