[Verse 1]
And as the earth returned to calmly dress itself in white
We got a glimpse of all the people going out tonight
Big guys and little guys, and bad guys in cuffs
I bet they can’t get enough

[Verse 2]
Tonight I wanna be on Broadway and in cabaret
Tonight I must go out and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
Tonight I must demand a raise so I can grab, let’s say
F#m               Bm
Some part replacements with strawberry laces, no spaces

[Chorus]
A                             G#    Db     D
Beautiful faces smiling over us
A               G#               D               Db
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
A               G#       Db               D
Beautiful people won’t remember you, honey
A G# D Db
I bet you can’t get enough

[Verse 3]
Tonight I’m good staying inside
But I’ll be dancing for sure
Going to the stores, pulling socks out of the drawers
F#m               Bm
People who you don’t love anymore

[Chorus]
A G# Db D
Beautiful faces smiling over us
A G# D Db
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
A G# Db D
Beautiful people won’t remember you, honey
A G# D Db
I bet you can’t get enough
A G# Db D
Beautiful faces smiling over us
A G# D Db
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
A G# Db D
Beautiful people won’t remember you, honey
A G# D Db
I bet you can’t get enough
