Diamonds And Tears

[E]   [A]   [A]   [A]     [E]   [A]   [A]   [A]
[E]  Spent my life [E]looking for
[A]  Happiness like [A]it was buried [E]treasure [E]      [A]          [A]
Some[E]where behind the [E]secret door
[A]  Surely there were [A]riches beyond [E]measure [E]      [E]          [E]

I would [B]take my sani[B]ty to task
[B]  Walk across [B]broken glass[A] to find i[A]t    [Asus9]           [Asus9]
And no [B]mountain top was [B]left unclimbed
[B]  Before I ever [B]took the time[A] to look in[A]side me[A]    [A]

These dreams of [E]mine,[B]   [F#m7]    th[A]ese precious [E]years[B]    [F#m7]          [A]
Oh how th[A]ey shine[A]   [B]  like [B]diamonds and[E] tears[B]    [F#m7]          [A]
The slow grace of [E]time,[B]   [F#m7]   the [A]joy and the[E] fears[B]    [F#m7]           [A]
Oh how th[A]ey shine[A]   [B]  like [B]diamonds and[E] tears[A]   [s[A]imila[A]r to i[E]ntro[A]]   [A]       [A]

Oh sure, there was love
And of course I thought it'd be my salvation
And in a way, I guess he was
There's always room for higher education

Yes, I have said and heard the word goodbye
Felt the blade and turned the knife sideways
But I'd crossed bridges while they'd burn
To keep from losing what I've learned along the way

These dreams of mine, these precious years
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
The slow grace of time, the joy and the fears
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
