Chords

Note: The Asus2 to Am chord change is just a hammer-on on the b string at the beginning of the Am. It can be changed around as he doesn't play it exactly the same every time. During the instrumental part after the chorus, the synth part plays an Am7 while the guitar stays with Am, but both sound good. [Verse 1]
G
Man, I was a diamond

Bm                      Asus2 Am
I fell into the diamond sea

G
A substitute starlight

Bm                      Asus2 Am
A prism for the rainbow stream
[Chorus]
G     Bm  Asus2 Am
Would you tell me that you want me?

G     Bm  Asus2 Am
Would you throw me back lightly?

G    Bm     Am
In...to the diamond

G    Bm  Am7
sea
G Bm Am7 [Verse 2]
G                    Bm
Shine on, see through me

Am                            G   Bm  Asus2 Am
Your expensive reflection is seen

G            Bm
A chandelier ghost trap

Am                                 G  Bm Asus2 Am
Who's danced on the fingers of queens
[Chorus]
G     Bm      Am
Would you tell me that you want me?

G     Bm      Am
Would you throw me back lightly?

G    Bm     Am
In...to the diamond

G    Bm  Am7
sea
G Bm Am7 2x [Verse 3]
G            Bm
Jealous of gold

Am                      G  Bm Asus2 Am
I am emulous into the fire

    G            Bm
My love is not shared

       Am                 G  Bm Asus2 Am
It is only for you I can shine

G         Bm
If you decided

            Am
It's not diamonds you wanted

        G  Bm Asus2 Am
It is gold

     G          Bm
Then let mе go on

          Am                   G  Bm  Am
I would rather just drown then go on
[Chorus]
G     Bm      Am
Would you tell me that you want me?

G     Bm      Am
Would you throw me back lightly?

G     Bm      Am
Would you tell me that you want me?

G     Bm      Am
Would you throw me back lightly?

G    Bm     Am
In...to the diamond

G    Bm  Am7
sea
[Outro] G Bm Am7 2x
