  Tale as old as time
F                Bb C
  True as it can be

Then somebody bends

  Small to say the least
D/F#           G
Both a little scared
        D/F#   Em7                 
Neither one prepared
A              D
Beauty and the Beast

Chorus:
              F#m G
Ever just the same
          F#m  G

Ever as before

As the sun will rise whoa

Finding you can change

Learning you were wrong

  Rising in the east
