Chords

(Matraca Berg/Ronnie Samoset) [Intro] C C C C [Verse 1]
C
I've searched the world over all of my life

     F
Just looking for something

               C
To make my love shine
Like a candle that burns in the night
F
But I came up with nothing

                      G
Till I looked in your eyes

F                 G
Deeper and deeper inside
[Chorus]
    C          G
And all of the treasures

  F
I found in your soul

         Am                F                    
Was like finding a diamond

                       C G F F
When you're mining for coal
[Verse 2]
C
I've been a fool for glitter and gold

    F                            C
And women that sparkle shiny and cold 
Like a statue carved out of ice
     F 
They shimmer like tinsel

                    G
On a blue Christmas night

F                            G
But they never were quite so bright
[Chorus]
   C           G
As all of the treasures

  F
That loving you holds

          Am                F
It's like finding a diamond

                       C G F F
When you're mining for coal
[Bridge]
  G
I was a miner

        F                  C
And you were a rock in the dust

     D
But you became flawless

                              G
When you were you polished by love
[Chorus]
    C       G
And when I found you

  F
I lost all control

   Am        F
I found me a diamond

                C
Just mining for coal

    C       G
And when I found you

  F
I lost all control

   Am        F
I found me a diamond

                C G F F C
Just mining for coal
