Diamond in the Chain
Am C Am C Em C G Am
Come with me, my only true friend
Let me explain it to you now, an try an understand
What works for you, doesn’t work for me
Faith you have, you got it from TV
Faith, your Diamond in the chain
Faith you see, so you can get to sleep
Now I really need, I really need the real thing,
Because lately it seems, I been hearing an seeing things,
Man my shits fucked up, and it aint no joke,
My Shits fucked up, so bad I have to laugh
Amazing grace, it kinda passed me by
Amazing Grace, Old rugged cross
It used to feel so good, I could tell you why
But that diamond in the chain, it’s made into a cross,
And it makes me wonder, if it’s really faith or just good luck,
Waiting on a prayer, waiting for a friend,
An you wake up every day, an man you want to die,
Shits fucked up, make me hang my head an cry,
You wake up in the mornin but you’re scared to even try
Become so scared, you can only hang your head and cry,
An nothing seems to work, none of the old ways,
You search an you search, ease the pain,
Happens every day to the rich an poor,
Sober an drunk, or the lonely and the bold

Well, Tell me my future, you’re a Prophet
And Heal me from sin, you’re the healer,
Forgive me my debts, you’re the Master
And teach me your ways, become the Teacher
No,,, Blind Men All, Fools, fools,
The devil’s not a maker, but the Tempter,
An The Lord is not a tempter, But the Maker,
For Every time I give you the truth, Somewhere you doubt me,
Oh Lord, livin in a world thats Heaven an Hell
Is like living in a world that’s living and dead
You tell me Love’s the answer, but you hide it well
You look at blind fools who sing an dance
Trying to reach the golden halls
The stepping stone always makes their fall
So stumble they fall for the gold that falls
But I was in the Burning house when those halls burnt down
Somewhere here between Heaven an hell… Fools fools
Come with me, my only true friend
Let me explain it to you now, an try an understand
What works for you, doesn’t work for me
Faith you have, you got it from TV
Faith, your Diamond in the chain
Faith you see, so you can get to sleep
Now I really need, I really need the real thing,
Because lately it seems, I been hearing an seeing things,
Man my shits fucked up, and it aint no joke,
My Shits fucked up, so bad I have to laugh
