Rough Gem

Islands
 F#Ebm
 The world beat you for something nice
 C#B
 You worked hard, died poor
 F#Ebm
 You mined what you died for
 C#F#BC#
 Diamonds di di di di di uh

 F#Ebm
 You can whistle my name
 B
 It's the mines, in Africa
 C#
 That are to blame
 F#
 You can Scoop out my brain
 EbmBC#
 Shape it into an ear and then tell me your pain

F#/C#/B/!CLAP!CLAP!/B

 F#Ebm
 I've been awake from the first day
 BC#
 Stayed awake, stayed awake
 F#Ebm
 The rabbit linked up to the whole moon
 BC#
 Longer, short road

Pre Breakdown: (in arpeggios) F#/B/Ebm/C#

 F#/C#/G#m/B
instrumental: F#/B/Ebm/C#

 F#
 Dig deep but don't dig too deep
 C#G#mB
 When it's late you'll see the hole is empty and oh so deadly
 F#C#
 They want me raw and smooth like glass
 G#m
They want it fast but they don't want flaws

I'm a girl's best friend
 B
 Can you cut, I can cut, 'cause I'm a rough gem

 F#/C#/G#m/B
 F#B
 who lives in those lights in the distance?
 EbmC#
 why didntyou tell me the rain would help you out
 F#B
 I had a dream, it was all a dream
 EbmC#F#
 But it was ruined by the sun shining in through me
