Beautiful things (acoustic reworking, Dave W vocal)

V5.5

[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals] For a while it was rough But lately I've been doing better Than the last four cold Decembers I recall And I see my family every month Found a homie my parents' love He'll come and stay the night and I Think I might have it all And I thank God every day For the boy He sent my way But I know the things He gives me She can take away And I'll hold you every night And that's a feeling I want to get used to But there's no man as terrified As the man that stands to lose you [Chorus] [electric bass enters] Oh I hope I don't lose you (Mmm) Please stay I want you I need you Oh God don't take These beautiful things I've got [falsetto] Please stay I want you I need you Oh God don't take These beautiful things I've got Oh oh oh Please don't take [Verse 2] [bass drops out] I found my mind I'm feeling sane It's been a while I'm finding faith If everything's good and it's great Why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone Oh I tell you I know I've got enough I got peace and I've got love But I'm up at night thinking I might just lose it all [Chorus] [bass re-enters] Oh please stay I want you I need you Oh God don't take These beautiful things I've got Oh oh oh Please stay I want you I need you Oh God I need These beautiful things I've got
