[Intro]


[Verse 1]
             
So much coming

  
 in
             
I do not know 

            
where to begin
             
I just follow 

              
the lead you'r

      
e pulling
             
And I get lost

              
 in your trail

             
So much more t

    
o tell
             
You just ask m

              
e if I'm doing

     
 well
              
But I do not k

             
now what the h

 
ell
         
I just swallow

 hard

[Chorus]
        
In your eyes
         
Black diamonds
         
I could die
         
Black diamonds
          
In your eyes
          
Black diamonds
         
I could die
         
Black diamonds

[Post-Chorus]
             
And I wake up 

              
in a cold swea

             
t on your ceil

      
ing
             
Terrified of w

             
hat your love'

                
s revealing

[Verse 2]
             
So much you ca

   
n see
             
Should I let y

              
ou make a woma

      
n of me?
             
Should I let y

              
ou take the my

            
stery from me?
             
See the inside

              
 of my room at

    
 night?

             
Sometimes you 

       
will find
             
Things I do no

              
t know how to 

        
leave behind
             
I've been grap

              
pling with my 

 
mind
           
I've been stuc

k inside a jai

l

[Chorus]
        
In your eyes
         
Black diamonds
         
I could die
         
Black diamonds
          
In your eyes
          
Black diamonds
         
I could die
         
Black diamonds

[Post-Chorus]
             
And I wake up 

              
in a cold swea

             
t on your ceil

      
ing
             
Terrified of w

             
hat your love'

               
s revealing

[Bridge]
             
The cold of wi

              
nter warms my 

              
blood and he's

 
 hot
              
Like a bed of 

      
steel
                            
He finds his peace of mind
        
In the rivers 

and the whip-p

oor-wills


I could follow

 close behind
             
And slowly dis

       
appear
              
But I can neve

              
r leave him
              
I can never le

        
ave him
              
I can never le

         
ave him
              
I can never le

        
ave him
              
I can never le

         
ave him
              
I can never le


ave him

         
In his eyes
         
Black diamonds
         
I could die
       
And I wake up 

in a cold swea

t on your ceil

ing

[Break]
   

[Verse 3]
(single strum)
             
So much more t

   
o do
             
Come on, let m

              
e make a man o

      
utta you
             
I could gather

              
 you and you t

          
ell the truth
           
You could cry 

              
inside my arms

   
        (begin

 normal strum)
             
You could cry 

              
inside my arms

               
 like a child
             
You could cry

     
             
You could cry
