Chords for Dustin Kensrue - What Beautiful Things [With Commentary]

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's no shortage of [A] ugliness around us, [E] no shortage of [B] grief, of death, of [E] destruction. _
_ And there's no shortage of ugliness in our own [A] hearts, _ [F#m] of greed, [A] _ selfishness, hate.
[E] _ _ But neither is there a shortage of beauty,
_ things which should cause [F#] us to stand in awe and [E] wonder,
_ laughter, music, love,
a [E] sleeping child, a ship at sea,
_ the [C#m] spinning stars, a swirl of our fingertips. _ _ _
[A] If there is darkness,
_ _ _ there is [E] also surely light. _ _ _ _ _

[E] moon ticks with the fire sticks [A] and the day is young. _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ And _ _ _ _ _
[E] in the midst of _ apocalypse, [A] a dark brings _ _ [F#m] tidings.
[F#] I lift my eyes to [E] the azure skies [A] and sing.
_ _ _ _ Oh, [C#m] what _ beautiful _ things I [A] see.
_ _ _ _ [F#] Oh, [C#m] what _ beautiful _ things I [A] _ see.

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ surprised when we _ realize [A] that we're _ deftly _ skilled in [E] _ fairy vices.
We swear off [A] violently, _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] still at the crux of the worst in us,
[A] a whole page hiding.
[F#m] I lift my gaze from my wicked ways [A] and sing.
_ _ _ _ Oh, [C#m] what _ beautiful things I [A] see.
