   When I think back to the first time in my childhood
|Am                  F                        |
   When I saw that face I thought right then
|C          G                |Am         F          |
   That's a real good-lookin' boy

I saw myself in the mirror in profile for the first time
I thought, hey, that's a real good-lookin' boy

And I felt then that I moved with all those lucky fucks and angels
High in the theatre in the sky

So I ran to my mother and I said, hey, ma, take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high?

[chorus]
|C            G                |Am         F
     That's a real good-lookin' boy
     That's a real good-lookin' boy

She said, well, you know, you're an ugly boy
You don't really look like him

In this long line there's been some real strange genes
You got 'em all, you got 'em all, with some extras thrown in

That's a real good-lookin' boy
That's a real good-lookin' boy
Oh, that's a real good-lookin' boy
Yeah, that's a real good-lookin' boy

|Bb  F/A   Gm   F   |

[interlude]

 Wise man say    only fools, only fools rush in
   |F    G    |Am   F         |C    G            |
But I, I can't help falling in love, in love with you

[repeat intro]

Now I'm here with you, little darlin'
And you say you're beautiful as you are
And I've managed somehow to survive

You arrive in my life like a fragrance
You help me find a way to laugh
And now I know how so-called beauty lies

God gave him a face then he gave me something above
God gave me grace, man, he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love

You make me feel I'm a real good-lookin' boy
I feel I'm a real good-lookin' boy
Oh, that's a real good-lookin' boy
Oh, that's a real good-lookin' boy


|Bb   F/A   Gm   F   |C
