Verse 1

	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

You looked into my glasses

said you'd seen a ghost

tried my best to make you smile

as we calypsoed close

I had been to Cleveland

You had been to jail

You seemed to be recovering

but I felt a little pale

Our house it was on seventeenth

above the hardware store

there we lived with seven cats

all named for in seven dwarves

Chorus:

	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

Verse 2:

you were working as a graverobber

you could do your job at night

I was living hand-to-mouth

just looking for a fight

the reason why we parted

it ain't that hard to find

I was always busy

and you never had the time

well the reason why we parted

it ain't that hard to see

but I was never sure

if I left you or you left me

Chorus:

but like leaves and kings

all things must fall

no diamond ring is gonna

cut through it all

(harmonica)

Verse 3:

and when it was all over

I lost myself in work

you got married to a lawyer

painting murals in new york

and though it seems a million miles ago

since I saw the light

the hours flowed by nervously

like warships in the night

Many times I've been corrupted

but I've never been in love

and I began to realize

that that's just where I was

so I packed up my possessions

and caught an eastbound train

met you in ohio

sleeping in the rain

Chorus

but like leaves and kings

all things must fall

no diamond ring is gonna

cut through it all

Verse 4:

so now we're going back again

to start where we began

with rules and regulations

but no real kinda plan

I learned my lesson well

with no mistakes at all

once you find yourself true love

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
