C
Diamonds, roses,

                          F
I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness,

    F                          C
Part this red river of pain.

I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness,

           F                                 F                                C
But I need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I will die.

        F                 F                          C
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near,

          F                F                     C
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer.

            F                 F                 C
So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here,

         F                                    F
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is a queer.

C
Everytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles,

            F
But I he never ever asks a single thing about me,

     F
If I die, he'd hear about it eventually.

C
Diamonds, roses,

                          F
I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness,

    F                        C
Part this red river of pain.

        F                 F                         C
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near,

        F                   F                    C
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer.

           F                   F                 C
So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here,

                       F                                      F
Go home to an empty apartment and call a best friend who is a queer.

to cross this sea of lonliness,

  F                        C
Part this red river of pain.

            F
to cross this sea of lonliness,

  F                        C
Part this red river of pain.
