Bars below)

And all my demons, you said, come and go with a haze
I might as well took a
I'll grow old in my way.
Just like you do.
(I put the basic chords in here that I think fit but if
you find better ones let me know, I converted the chords Ben uses
when in CGCGGc tuning to standard but some are impossible (4th fret and 12th...) but you
can play around with these ones if you want to get
a more matching sound

Chorus
G G/F# C
Oh there ain't no diamonds in the boredom
G G/F# C
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
G G/F# C
Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more
Am C G
So be clear, just to be clear
Am C G
So be clear, be clear.

Heavy as the horses, that carry me away.
That carry me away.
