[Intro] C Am7 G F C Am7 G [Verse 1]
C           Am7                   G
  Make your way to promised lands

           F
Build your castles made of sand

C          Am7                 G
  Hold the water in your hands

                     C
For as long as you can

                 Am7                  G
But yellow brick roads and pots of gold

            F
Can leave a young man looking old

C            Am7           G
  And turn a warm heart cold
[Chorus]
F                         C
  For the brightest of gemstones

         G
Can look dull without the sun

F                      C
  The sweetest of victories

          G
Can taste bitter on your toungue

F                           Am7
  And the truest of love songs

          Em                       F
Can sound hollow when they're sung

                        G
And the wisest words of age

                      C
Are lost upon the young
[Interlude] C Am7 G F C Am7 G [Verse 2]
C       Am7               G
  Sail away on distant seas

          F
Climb the mountains and the trees

C            Am7              G
  Search for diamonds on your knees

                       C
For as long as you please

         Am7               G
But before your years have passed

       F
Find a home that's built to last

C         Am7             G
  For the candle burns so fast
[Chorus]
F                         C
  For the brightest of gemstones

         G
Can look dull without the sun

F                      C
  The sweetest of victories

          G
Can taste bitter on your toungue

F                           Am7
  And the truest of love songs

       Em                        F
Can sound hollow when they're sung

                        G
And the wisest words of age   are lost upon
[Bridge]
    Am7
The young boy

Em                    F
Always in search of a new toy

C           G             Am7
Shining and bright like a magpie

Em                        F
Scouring the hedgerow for treasure

G                         Am7
Lost in the weeds and the weather

Em                      F
Fooled by wrappings and ring pulls

    G                     F
And destined to search forever
[Chorus]
F                         C
  For the brightest of gemstones

         G
Can look dull without the sun

F                      C
  The sweetest of victories

          G
Can taste bitter on your toungue

F                           Am7
  And the truest of love songs

        Em                       F
They sound hollow when they're sung

                        G
And the wisest words of age
N.C. Are lost upon the young [Outro] Am7 Em F C Am7 Em F G Am7 Em F G Em Am7 F G
