Intro
C#
[Verse 1]
C# F#
So much coming in
C# F#
I do not know where to begin
C# F#
I just follow the lead you're pulling
D#m7 A#m
And I get lost in your trail
C# F#
So much more to tell
C# F#
You just ask me if I'm doing well
C# F#
But I do not know what the hell
D#m7 A#m
I just swallow hard
[Chorus]
G#
In your eyes
G#
Black diamonds
F#
I could die
F#
Black diamonds
G#
In your eyes
G#
Black diamonds
F#
I could die
F#
Black diamonds
[Post-Chorus]
F# F# C# C#
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
F# C# F# D#m7
Terrified of what your love's revealing
[Verse 2]
C# F#
So much you can see
C# F#
Should I let you make a woman of me?
C# F#
Should I let you take the mystery from me?
D#m7 A#m
See the inside of my room at night?
C# F#
Sometimes you will find
C# F#
Things I do not know how to leave behind
C# F#
I've been grappling with my mind
D#m7 A#m
I've been stuck inside a jail
[Chorus]
G#
In your eyes
G#
Black diamonds
F#
I could die
F#
Black diamonds
G#
In your eyes
G#
Black diamonds
F#
I could die
F#
Black diamonds
[Post-Chorus]
F# F# C# C#
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
F# C# F# D#m7
Terrified of what your love's revealing
[Bridge]
Bmaj7 D#m7
The cold of winter warms my blood and he's hot
C#m
Like a bed of steel
Bmaj7
He finds his peace of mind
In the rivers and the whip-poor-wills
Bmaj7
I could follow close behind
D#m7 G#
And slowly disappear
C#
But I can never leave him
F# G#
I can never leave him
C#
I can never leave him
F# G#
I can never leave him
C#
I can never leave him
F#
I can never leave him
G#
In his eyes
G#
Black diamonds
D#m7
I could die
F#
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
[Break]
C# C# C# C#
[Verse 3]
(single strum)
C# F#
So much more to do
C# F#
Come on, let me make a man outta you
C# F#
I could gather you and you tell the truth
C# C#
You could cry inside my arms (begin normal strum)
C# F#
You could cry inside my arms like a child
C# F#
You could cry
C# F#
You could cry
[Outro]
C# D
