Hope Diamond

       D              Cmaj7      
So the priceless blue diamond is 
D
cursed,
       C        D
and we both got hurt.
      D            Cmaj7      
Maybe I stand in a minefield of 
  D
words,
      Cadd9     D
but I asked you first.


[Chorus 1]
      Em      Bm                 
Those early encounters, with the 
G                G
hurtful lies of kids.
                    D        D
I remember what you did
A7                   
Covered your arms in a 
  Bm             G                
curtain-shawl, bloodied your palms
  G

               Em      Em
on the elementary wall.

If it seems too far, it is.


[Verse 2]
      D                Cmaj7     
I was out there in the cradle of 
D
thorns
          C          D
when your fears took form.
        D              Cmaj7      
And the truth is maybe your fear's
   D
 a wall.
         Cadd9    D
But it's not that tall.


[Chorus 2]
       Em          Bm           G
If you want me you show me in a 
            G
most unusual way,
            D
In a most unusual way.
A7                  Bm          
Under the eyes of a frozen lake 
G            G
I saw your fire,
                 Em        Em
and it served me not to wait.
                  D
But it hurt me all the same.

[Ending]
A7                  Bm           
You had to chase an electric 
      G             G
storm and you had to wait
                Em          Em
for the violent wind to calm,
       D
and it carried you away.
