Diamonds And Tears chords by Matraca Berg

Chords with lyrics

Eb MajorEb
Spent my life looking for
AbAb              Eb MajorEb   AbAb
Happiness like it was buried treasure
Eb MajorEb
Somewhere behind the secret door
AbAb               Eb MajorEb
Surely there were riches beyond measure
    Bb majorBb
I would take my sanity to task
              AbAb
Walk across broken glass to find it
    Bb majorBb
And no mountain top was left unclimbed
                AbAb         Bb majorBb
Before I ever took the time to take a look inside me
        Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb Fm7Fm7 AbAb       Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb Fm7Fm7 AbAb
These dreams of mine     these precious years
      AbAb    Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb  Ebus Eb MajorEb Ebsus
Oh how they shine   like diamonds and tears
Eb MajorEb
Oh sure, there was love
AbAb                 Eb MajorEb
And of course I thought it'd be my salvation
Eb MajorEb
And in a way, I guess he was
AbAb               Eb MajorEb
There's always room for higher education
      Bb majorBb
Yes, I have said and heard the word goodbye
                AbAb
Felt the blade and turned the knife sideways
Bb majorBb
I'd crossed bridges while they'd burn
                   AbAb     Bb majorBb
To keep from losing what I've learned along the way
        Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb Fm7Fm7 AbAb       Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb Fm7Fm7 AbAb
These dreams of mine,    these precious years
      AbAb  Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb  Ebus Eb MajorEb Ebsus
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears

         Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb Fm7Fm7 AbAb       Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb Fm7Fm7 AbAb
These dreams of mine     these precious years
       AbAb  Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
          Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb Fm7Fm7 AbAb        Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb Fm7Fm7 AbAb
The slow grace of time,     the joy and the fears
      AbAb  Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
