Beautiful James (Live from the White Room) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bring me back to life
Never let me go
Your troubles and your heart strife
I saw them
Take me by the hand
As we cross through battlefields
Nobody understands
'Cause there’s nobody at the wheel

[Chorus]
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you

[Verse 2]
Everybody lies
One hundred times a day
The silence in your eyes
Is far too rare to give away
And it’s exactly why I stay

[Chorus]
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wakе you
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you
(Don't wanna wakе you)
Beautiful James
(Don't wanna wake you)
I don't wanna wake you
(Don't wanna wake you)
Beautiful James
(Don't wanna wake you)
I don't wanna wake you
See Placebo Live
Get tickets as low as $66
[Bridge]
Though I may have to
I may have to
I may have to

[Chorus]
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you
(Don't wanna wake you)
Beautiful James
(Don't wanna wake you)
I don't wanna wake you
(Don't wanna wake you)
Beautiful James
(Don't wanna wake you)
I don't wanna wake you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
