[Intro] A [Verse 1]
A               D
So much coming in

      A                   D
I do not know where to begin

         A                        D
I just follow the lead you're pulling

        A                   D
And I get lost in your trail

A                 D
So much more to tell

         A                       D
You just ask me if I'm doing well

               A             C#m
But I do not know what the hell

         F#m
I just swallow hard
[Chorus]
        E
In your eyes
Black diamonds
         D
I could die
Black diamonds
          E
In your eyes
Black diamonds
         F#m
I could die
Black diamonds [Post-Chorus]
        D                              A        
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling

  D            A                  D          
Terrified of what your love's revealing
[Verse 2]
A                D
So much you can see

          A                       D
Should I let you make a woman of me?

          A                             C#m
Should I let you take the mystery from me?

          D                     
See the inside of my room at night?

A                    D
Sometimes you will find

             A                      D
Things I do not know how to leave behind

            A                C#m
I've been grappling with my mind

           F#m
I've been stuck inside a jail
[Chorus]
        E
In your eyes
Black diamonds
         D
I could die
Black diamonds
          E
In your eyes
Black diamonds
         F#m
I could die
Black diamonds [Post-Chorus]
        D                              A        
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling

  D            A                  D         
Terrified of what your love's revealing
[Bridge]
G                                          Dmaj7
The cold of winter warms my blood and he's hot

                    Am
Like a bed of steel
He finds his peace of mind
        G
In the rivers and the whip-poor-wills

G
I could follow close behind

       D             E
And slowly disappear

                            A
But I can never leave him

               D       E
I can never leave him

                       A
I can never leave him

              D        E
I can never leave him

                       A
I can never leave him

              D
I can never leave him

         E
In his eyes
Black diamonds
         F#m
I could die

       D
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
[Break] A A A A [Verse 3] (single strum)
A                D
So much more to do

          A                       D
Come on, let me make a man outta you

         A                            D
I could gather you and you tell the truth

          F#m                  A
You could cry inside my arms        (begin normal strum)

           A                               D
You could cry inside my arms like a child

           A       D
You could cry

           A       D
You could cry
[Outro] A D
