D
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
A G D
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain
D
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness, but I
A G D
Need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I will die
A G D
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near
A G D
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer
A G D
So I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here
A G
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer
D
Everytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles
A G
But he never ever asks a single thing about me, if I died he'd hear about it eventually
D
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
A G D
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain, oh, oh, oh, oh
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer
So I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here
Go home to an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer
Oh, diamonds, roses,I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain
A G D
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain
A G D
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain
