| C | Am | |
| I met you at a | party |
| C | Am | |
| or on a crowded | street |
| C | Am | |
| a silent singula | rity |
| F | G | |
| when glances chanced to | meet |
| C | Am | |
| You looked into my gla | sses |
| C | Am | |
| said you'd seen a g | host |
| C | Am | |
| tried my best to make | you smile |
| F | G | |
| as we calypsoed | close |
| C | Am | |
| I had been to Cl | eveland |
| C | Am | |
| You had been to j | ail |
| C | Am | |
| You seemed to be r | ecovering |
| F | G | |
| but I felt a little | pale |
| C | Am | |
| Our house it was on s | eventeenth |
| C | Am | |
| above the hardware | store |
| C | Am | |
| there we lived with se | ven cats |
| F | G | |
| all named for in sev | en dwarves |
| F | G | |
| but like leaves and k | ings |
| F | C | |
| all things must f | all |
| F | G | |
| no diamond ring is go | nna |
| F | C | |
| cut through it a | ll |
| C | Am | |
| you were working as a g | raverobber |
| C | Am | |
| you could do your job at n | ight |
| C | Am | |
| I was living hand-to-m | outh |
| F | G | |
| just looking for a | fight |
| C | Am | |
| the reason why we | parted |
| C | Am | |
| it ain't that hard to | find |
| C | Am | |
| I was always bus | y |
| F | G | |
| and you never had the | time |
| C | Am | |
| well the reason why we | parted |
| C | Am | |
| it ain't that hard to | see |
| C | Am | |
| but I was never s | ure |
| F | G | |
| if I left you or you left | me |
| F | G | |
| but like leaves and | kings |
| F | C | |
| all things must f | all |
| F | G | |
| no diamond ring is | gonna |
| F | C | |
| cut through it a | ll |
| (harmonica) |
| C | Am | |
| and when it was all | over |
| C | Am | |
| I lost myself in | work |
| C | Am | |
| you got married to a | lawyer |
| F | G | |
| painting murals in new | york |
| C | Am | |
| and though it seems a millio | n miles ago |
| C | Am | |
| since I saw the l | ight |
| C | Am | |
| the hours flowed by n | ervously |
| F | G | |
| like warships in the | night |
| C | Am | |
| Many times I've been | corrupted |
| C | Am | |
| but I've never been in | love |
| C | Am | |
| and I began to rea | lize |
| F | G | |
| that that's just where I | was |
| C | Am | |
| so I packed up my p | ossessions |
| C | Am | |
| and caught an eastbound | train |
| C | Am | |
| met you in oh | io |
| F | G | |
| sleeping in the ra | in |
| F | G | |
| but like leaves and | kings |
| F | C | |
| all things must f | all |
| F | G | |
| no diamond ring is | gonna |
| F | C | |
| cut through it a | ll |
| C | Am | |
| so now we're going back a | gain |
| C | Am | |
| to start where we | began |
| C | Am | |
| with rules and regu | lations |
| F | G | |
| but no real kinda p | lan |
| C | Am | |
| I learned my lesson | well |
| C | Am | |
| with no mistakes at a | ll |
| C | Am | |
| once you find yourself true | love |
| F | G | |
| you just keep holding | on |
| F | G | |
| like leaves and king | s |
| F | C | |
| all things must f | all |
| F | G | |
| no diamond ring is | gonna |
| F | C | |
| cut through it a | ll |
| F | G | |
| but now out of t | he dark |
| F | G | |
| out of the b | lue |
| F | G | |
| like leaves and k | ings |
| F | C | |
| I've fallen in love with yo | u |
