Diamonds and Tears
written by Matraca Berg & Gary Harrison
Eb
Spent my life looking for
Ab Eb Ab
Happiness like it was buried treasure
Eb
Somewhere behind the secret door
Ab Eb
Surely there were riches beyond measure
Bb
I would take my sanity to task
Ab
Walk across broken glass to find it
Bb
And no mountain top was left unclimbed
Ab Bb
Before I ever took the time to take a look inside me
Eb Bb Fm7 Ab Eb Bb Fm7 Ab
These dreams of mine these precious years
Ab Bb Eb Ebus Eb Ebsus
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
Eb
Oh sure, there was love
Ab Eb
And of course I thought it'd be my salvation
Eb
And in a way, I guess he was
Ab Eb
There's always room for higher education
Bb
Yes, I have said and heard the word goodbye
Ab
Felt the blade and turned the knife sideways
Bb
I'd crossed bridges while they'd burn
Ab Bb
To keep from losing what I've learned along the way
Eb Bb Fm7 Ab Eb Bb Fm7 Ab
These dreams of mine, these precious years
Ab Bb Eb Ebus Eb Ebsus
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
SOLO
Eb Bb Fm7 Ab Eb Bb Fm7 Ab
These dreams of mine these precious years
Ab Bb Eb
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
Eb Bb Fm7 Ab Eb Bb Fm7 Ab
The slow grace of time, the joy and the fears
Ab Bb Eb
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
