VERSE 1
|Em     |           |    |
You say the party's over
|          |
But like a drunken fool
     |                    |  |  |
I never know when to leave
     |Am                    |          |     |  |
It's just that in the eyes of this beholder
|Em            |           |    |
    You mean everything to me

VERSE 2
|Em     |      |              |       |
  Yeah you say that you don't love me
|          |                    |
  Yeah you talk about the other boys
                    |    |  |
And you laugh in my face
    |Am                         |      |      |  |
But I know when you're feeling sad and lonely
|Em         |              |     |   |
  No other boy can take my place
 
 
CHORUS
|C              |Bm             |A   |
   Cause when I look into your eyes
|           |Em            |A     |C  |
   Well our love           shines-----
                (our love)
|           |Em            |A    |C  |Bm  |
   Yeah our love           shines---------
                (our love)
|              |Em  |  |  |  |
Like a diamond mine
 
 
BRIDGE
|G           |          |Em     |   |
Nothing's as obvious as what is lost
|G                          |A   |
Nothing's as painful as the cost
|        |Em  |C  |D  |
  Let it shine--------
|        |Em  |C  |D  |
  Let it shine
|              |Em  |
Like a diamond mine

VERSE 3
|Em        |                 |         |
And I hear all these rumours about you
|          |                    |                         |     |
   Yea the trash lines up at my door just to bring me the news
    |Am                 |          |      |  |
But all it does is make me kind of wonder
|Em               |              |     |  |
Why are people so eager to be so cruel
 
 
CHORUS
|C              |Bm             |A   |
   Cause when I look into your eyes

   Well our love           shines-----
                (our love)
|           |Em            |A     |C  |
   Well our love           shines-----
                (our love)
|           |Em            |A    |C  |Bm  |
   Yeah our love           shines---------
                (our love)
|              |Em  |A |C |
Like a diamond mine
|D                |Em  |A |C |
