G             C                G       C
When the tape runs out, the music keeps playing
          G               C                   D                   
When the walls come down, it's still hard to cross the line
          G            C                 G         C
When his love is gone, he says he still needs her
        G        C       D                Em      C       Am
And he wants to let you know, that if he had his chance again
           D  G     C    G   C
He'd be a diamond

G  C  G  C

          G             C                   G       C
When you dab your eyes, the tears keep on falling
          G              C                      D
When you blow your nose, it still gets blocked up and runs
               G              C                 G         C
And though you feel like shit, he says you look beautiful
        G         C       D                  Em      C      Am
And he swears by all the saints, that if he had his chance again
           D  G     C   G   C
He'd be a diamond

D
Is he lying to get what he wants
         G            C      G     C
Or does he mean it this time?
D
Is he running low on affection
     G       C           G       C
And beer and dope and an ironing board
       Am               D
And an unpaid analyst who shags

          G              C                       G        C
When you turn your back, you still see what's behind you
          G            C                   D
When you start afresh, you still think of days gone by
        G               C                 G         C
When a heart is broken, it still goes on pumping
        G       C         D                 Em      C       Am
And he told me just last night, that if he had his chance again
          D  G    C   G   C          
He'd be a diamond
