Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Asus4][Am][Asus4]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
In these [Am]days of [Em]man
[Dm]made [Am]won ders we still bicke[Em]r ov[F]er fl[Am]ies
When you come seeking [Dm]for forg[Am]iveness,
I'll be forced to [F]choose my [Am]side

[Verse 2]
If I deny [Em]you [Dm]what you're [Am]searching,
do I [Em]do it o[F]ut of fe[Am]ar
Am I [Em]rul ing o[Dm]ut my r[Am]eason,
killing [Em]that which I [F]hold dear
[G]Out of [Am]my way

[Verse 3]
I'm running,
[F]wit[G]h an exc[Dm]use just underway
[F]Rea[G]lity[Am]'s so daunting,
[F]and I[G]'ve got[Dm] no way to explain
[Am]

[Verse 4]
Cos when you're [Dsus4]sleep ing right next to [F]me,
[Dm]I know you[Em]'re the on[Am]e
So when I [Dsus4]hear you calling my name[F],
why do [G]I turn away and r[Am]un
I guess that's [Dsus4]why it's raini[Dm]ng diamo[F]nds,
sweet [Dm]happiness [Em]in tears[Am]
Crying [Dsus4]heaven shed yo[Dm]ur di[F]amonds,
[G]diamonds for tears
[Am]

[Verse 5]
In the [Em]light of [Am]re c[Dm]ent fi[Am]ndings,
there's no [Em]greater [F]taint than [Am]grace
But to relin[Em]quish [Dm]all our [Am]bindings,
always finds us [F]out of [Am]place

[Verse 6]
If I [Am]rested [G]here a [Am]while more,
would you hold me [F]to your heart
[Am]If I knew what i[Dm]t's me[Am]ant for,
would I know to play [F]my part
[G]Out [Am]of my way

[Verse 7]
I'm leaving,
[F]anoth[G]er exc[Dm]use before I'll sta[F]y
[G]Real[Am]ity's applauding,
[F]I kno[Em]w I d[Dm]on't know the right way
[Am][Dsus4]

[Verse 8]
[Am]
Cos when you're [Dsus4]sleep ing right next to [F]me,
[Dm]I know you[Em]'re the on[Am]e
So when I [Dsus4]hear you calling my name[F],
[G]yeah, I know you're the one[Am]
I guess that's [Dsus4]why it's raini[Dm]ng diamonds[F],
sweet [Dm]happiness [G]in tea[Am]rs
Crying [Dsus4]heaven shed yo[Dm]ur diamo[F]nds,
[Em]diamonds for tears

[Interlude 1]
[Dsus4][Dm][F][G][Am]

[Verse 9]
Is it a lost [F]cause
[G]Can we [D]ove[Dm]rlook this tai[F]nt[G][Am]
Are these the dead [F]laws
[G]Like a d[D]oubt eating the[Dm] saint[F]

[Verse 10]
And though I [G]fear these shackles,
[Em]like my dark[Dsus4] ness closing in[Dm][F]
I will [G]hold out my hand[Em]s,
I will [D]hold out my [Dm]hands

[Verse 11]
[Dsus4]Cos when [D]you[G]'re[D] sl[Am]eep ing right ne[Dsus4]xt to me,[F]
[Dm]I know you[Em]'re the on[Am]e
So when I [Dsus4]hear you calling my name[F],
[G]I know the good I've d[Am]one
I guess that's [Dsus4]why it's raini[Dm]ng diamo[F]nds,
sweet [Dm]happiness [Em]in tears[Am]
Crying [Dm]heaven [Dsus4]shed your[Dm]
[F]diamonds
[G]

[Verse 12]
[Am]
Cos when you're [Dsus4]sleep ing right next to [F]me,
[Dm]I know you[Em]'re the on[Am]e
So when I [Dsus4]hear you calling my n[F]ame,
[G]I know the good I've d[Am]one
I guess that's [Dsus4]why it's raini[Dm]ng diamo[F]nds,
sweet [Dm]happiness [G]in tea[Am]rs
Crying [Dsus4]heaven shed yo[D]ur di[F]amonds,
[G]diamonds for tea[Am]rs
