A              D
So much coming in
      A                   D
I do not know where to begin
        A                         D
I just follow the lead you're pulling
           Bm7             F#m
And I get lost in your trail

So much more to tell
You just ask me if I'm doing well
But I do not know what the hell
I just swallow hard

Chorus:
        E
In your eyes
Black diamonds
         D
I could die
Black diamonds
          E
In your eyes
Black diamonds
         D
I could die
Black diamonds
        D                              A
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
  D            A                  D
Terrified of what your love's revealing

So much you can see
Should I let you make a woman of me?
Should I let you take the mystery from me?
See the inside of my room at night?

Sometimes you will find
Things I do not know how to leave behind
I've been grappling with my mind
I've been stuck inside a jail

Chorus

Gmaj7                                       D
The cold of winter warms my blood and he's hot
                   Am
Like a bed of steel
He finds his peace of mind
       Gmaj7
In the rivers and the whip-poor-wills
I could follow close behind
      D             E
And slowly disappear
                         A
But I can never leave him
             D       E
I can never leave him
                     A
I can never leave him
             D       E
I can never leave him
                     A
I can never leave him
             D
I can never leave him

         E
In his eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
       D
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling

A                D
So much more to do
          A                       D
Come on, let me make a man outta you
         A                            D
I could gather you and you tell the truth
           A
You could cry inside my arms
           A                           D
You could cry inside my arms like a child
           A D
You could cry
           A D
You could cry
