[Intro]
Em C G Dsus2

[Verse 1]
      Em
I left LA today
       Em
I'm on another plane
            C
I spent too much time on the
                  G     Dsus2
dark side of your door
            Em
I spent the night awake
             Em
Had all that I could take
            C
I might not see those baby
            G     Dsus2
blue eyes anymore

[Chorus]
Em
C'mon, I'm shining like a
               C
diamond in the dark
    G               Dsus2       Em
I'm floating like a lion in the ark
Em
I'm walkin round in
                    C
circles through the park
       G                Dsus2
i know tough talk will erase you
Em
Now i know how many holes it takes to
Em
And i really don't know how to
            C        G Dsus2
shake these memories

              Em
And there's a fire in the sky
Em
Baby there's a red dawn in my eyes
            C
And all the meanings got so
                   G    Dsus2
twisted since you're gone
      Em
And I guess I hope you're fine
Em
But really you know I hope you crying
          C
There's a million things to
                   G    Dsus2
say since you been gone

[Chorus]
Em
C'mon, I'm shining like
                 C
a diamond in the dark
    G               Dsus2       Em
I'm floating like a lion in the ark
Em
I'm walkin round in
                    C
circles through the park
       G                Dsus2
i know tough talk will erase you
Em
Now i know how many
holes it takes to
Em
And i really don't know how
