When you look so good, the pain in your face doesn't show
         F#               C#m             E    F#  F#sus4 F#  F#sus4 F#
When you look so good and baby, you don't even know

When the world is ours but the world is not your kind of thing
        F#              C#m                 E    F# F#sus4 F#  F#sus4 F#
Full of shooting stars, brighter as they're vanishing
          F#                       C#m      E   F#   F#sus4 F#  F#sus4 F#
Oh you've seen enough to know it's children who teach
             F#                  C#m     E        F#   F#sus4 F#  F#sus4 F#
You're still free enough to wake up on a bed or a beach

[Chorus]
G          D/F#

A                        Bm         A
The best thing that ever happened a boy

You're the best thing about me
        A                    Bm    A

                F#      C#m  E  F# F#sus4 F#  F#sus4 F#
The best thing about me

[Verse 2]
       F#               C#m       E         F#  F#sus4 F#  F#sus4 F#
I been crying out, "How bad can a good time be?"
         F#                    C#m          E           F# F#sus4 F#  F#sus4 F#
Shooting off my mouth, that's another great thing about me
       F#               C#m       E          F#  F#sus4 F#  F#sus4 F#
I have everything but I feel like nothing at all
           F#                C#m         E           F#  F#sus4 F#  F#sus4 F#
There's no risky thing for a man who's determined to fall
