[Intro] Em D G Em D G Em D Em D G A D A G C [Verse 1]
      G
I was born
In the calm before the storm
                     Em
In the quiet hour of dawn

                         C
With the full moon in my eyes
[Verse 2]
      G
I was kissed
By the rolling river mist
                          Em
That betrayed the lovers' tryst

                C       Em
A mysterious disguise
[Chorus]
           C         G
Cut like a diamond

             A      Bm
Sharper than steel

             Em
Sweet as the razor's edge

  A               C
Before the jagged wheel
[Verse 3]
      G
I am lost
I have sold my heart at cost
                       Em
On the bridges that we crossed

                         C
I have carved my name in stone
[Verse 4]
       G
Bitter wife
You have cut me like a knife
                     Em
I could never take a life

                          C     Em
That could never take its own
[Chorus]
           C         G
Cut like a diamond

             A      Bm
Sharper than steel

             Em
Sweet as the razor's edge

  A               C
Before the jagged wheel
[Chorus]

Before the jagged wheel

With the sun high in the sky

Far below the Bridge of Sighs
