Intro
A x4
[Verse]
A D E
Diamonds, don't come and get to me,
A
Layin' there, in the sand,
A D E
I'd forgotten how much it means to me,
A
You sit there, holdin' my hand,
A
I don't like your lonesome ways
D
They're pushin' me deathbound,
E
Maybe I see the day
A
Or maybe just the sound
[Chorus]
A
Forgive me for innocence lost
D
I can't stand baby that I've sinned,
A
Relive me and the time spent
D
I never looked to end but to begin,
F#m
Forgive me my vision's bent
D
I only thought my chances were slim
A x2

Diamonds,
D E
Don't come and get to me,
A
Sittin' at the window, countin' your dough,
A D E
I remember how little you called on me,
A
When you found someone to call your own,
A
I don't like your lonesome ways
D
They're pushin' me deathbound
E A
Maybe I see the day, or maybe just the sound
[Chorus]
A
Forgive me for innocence lost
D
I can't stand baby that I've sinned,
A
Relive me and that time spent
D
I never looked to end but to begin,
F#m
Forgive me my vision's bent
D
I only thought my chances were slim
