Cadd9                    G
Lose the jewels, there's diamonds in your eyes
Cadd9               G
Lose the look, your painted-on disguise
Cadd9                Am7               G
Lose the dress, that hides the fairest prize
Cadd9               G
Lose the time, this time belongs to me
Cadd9               G
Lose your mind, and let the moments be
Cadd9                 Am7          G
Lose your all, you're all I'll ever need


Chorus:
                 Am                                 Em7
On the outside a plain brown wrapper, on the inside solid gold
                Am                            Em7          Bm   Em7
But the insides all that matters and the outsides just for show

Cadd9               G
Soon the years will surely fade away
Cadd9              G
Soon the time with lines and shades of gray
Cadd9                Am7          G
Soon the dreams will all be yesterdays
Cadd9                  G
If all that's left is what we're feeling now
Cadd9                   G
All that's changed won't matter anyhow
Cadd9            Am7                G
Rearranged, it's still the same somehow... when the outsides...
