Verse 1
Am G
You wonder why my mind is still going asunder,
Am
Your beauty has infilled each corner of it.
Am G
It’s racing so fast I can’t stop what it’s thinking,
Am G
For ways to attract all your feelings to me,
Chorus
F Am
Pour out your feelings, roll out to me,
F E7
Roll out your feelings and let me in!
C
I could get you diamonds,
G
And hide them in silence,
F E7
When you find them would I hear violins?
Verse 2
Am G
But you’re not the kind who would want only diamonds,
Am
Cause diamonds are symbols of plasticized love.
Am G
We humans will follow to cliff edge horizons
Am G
Ignoring the nature and beauty of love,
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental Am G/ F E7/ Am G/ F E7
Verse 3
Am G
What’s love if it’s measured by hard rocks like diamonds?
Am
A life it has not just a showpiece for some,
Am G
It’s best if a heart is still pumping with passion
Am G
Well after the flowing of juices of love,
Repeat Chorus
