Lyrics:
  C             Cmaj7
   Beautiful People
  D7              F              C
   You live in the same world as I do
          Cmaj7 D7
   But somehow I never noticed
   F            D7
   You before today
                  F  G
   I'm ashamed to say
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/melanie_safka/beautiful_people_crd.html ]
  C             Cmaj7
   Beautiful people
  D7           F
   We share the same back door
      C         E
   And it isn't right
  D7        F
   We never met before
       D7
   But then
          F           G
   We may never meet again
        F                             G
   If I weren't afraid you'd laugh at me
           F                     G
   I would run and take all your hands
       E          D                      A
   And I'd gather everyone together for a day
               D
   And when we gather'd
                              A
   I'll pass buttons out that say
  C            Cmaj7
   Beautiful people
  D7                        F
   Then you'd never have to be alone
         C                   E
   'Cause there'll always be someone
  D7             F            D7
   With the same button on as you
     F                G
   Include him in everything you do.

  C            Cmaj7
   Beautiful people
  D7                F
   You ride the same subway
      C          E
   As I do ev'ry morning
  D7             F
   That's got to tell you something
  D7           F
   We've got so much in common
  D7            F                D7
   I go the same direction that you do
         F                G
   So if you take care of me
         F                 G
   Maybe I'll take care of you

  C            Cmaj7
   Beautiful people
  D7             F
   You look like friends of mine
      C           E
   And it's about time
     D7          F        D7
   That someone said it here and now
            F             G
   I make a vow that some time, somehow
  E            D
   I'll have a meeting
                       A
   Invite ev'ryone you know
                 D
   I'll pass out buttons to
                        A
   The ones who come to show
  C            Cmaj7
   Beautiful people
  D7                F
   Never have to be alone
        C                   E
   'Cause there'll always be someone
  D7             F            D7
   With the same button on as you
      F                          G
   Include him in ev'rything you do
             F                     G
   He may be sitting right next to you
             F                G
   He may be beautiful people too
              F            G
   And if you take care of him
         F                 G
   Maybe I'll take care of you
