         C
I run a little insurrection that moves in the direction that
F           G         F          G
beauty is beauty in spite of perfection,
       F
see the crosses at the roadside
      G                               C  G7
the thorn bush is a blazing in bloom

          C
Put your feet in the sand, a lukewarm beer in your hand
       F             G      F    G
momma let down your hair,
        F                           G
yes, I chipped a tooth, no need to call home,
                 C
I don't have to be anywhere,

Chorus:
        G
We can hear the bossanova
         C
we can sway the night away
     F
the steps of the dance are best left up to chance
        G
Better Beautiful then Perfect anyway
               C
and while the moon wanes and waxes death and taxes
      F           G       F  G
are lurking out there
         F              G
Life is grand, love is real,
          C
Beauty is Everywhere.

And so the clear blue sky no, she never made a sound
though she was blindfolded, gagged and bound
now see the poppies pushin' up through the bones on the ground
but the body's never found

Chorus x2

G
can you hear the bossanova?
C
let us sway the night away...
