VERSE
      Dmaj
So it gets to seven
      Dmaj7
And I think of nothing
    C#m
But living in darkness
         Esus4/B
And the diamond lady
     Esus4/B
Well she's not telling
  A
I don't even know her name

Times have changed

 In days of old

Imagination'd leave you standing
A
 Out in the cold

Dancing city
Dmaj7
Now you're talking
C#m
 But where's your soul
Esus4/B
 You've a thousand faces
A
 I'll never know

          Dmaj7
There are complications

And compensations
C#m
 If you know the game
Esus4/B     Esus4/B
Agitated in Xenon nightly
A
 I'll take you home again


VERSE
       Dmaj7
Travel way downtown
   Dmaj7
In search of nothing
C#m
 But the sky at night
        Esus4/B

Well she's not talking
A
 But that's alright

     Dmaj7
So I turn the pages
    Dmaj7
And tell the story
C#m
 From town to town
Esus4/B
People tell me
Esus4/B
Be determined
A
 Poor country boy


VERSE
Dmaj7
Too much luck
      Dmaj7
Means too much trouble
C#m
 Much time alone
    Esus4/B
But arm in arm
        Esus4/B
With my seaside diamond
A
 I'll soon be home
