[Intro]
G D/F# Em C x4
[Verse]
G D/F# Em C
the streetlights are diamonds, the sidewalk a bed
G D/F# Em C
of boot heels and garbage and cigarettes
D G C
and only the hopeless and lonesome are left
Am G/B D
to pin up the night and go home
[Verse]
G D/F# Em C
and i don’t believe that a fortune is told
G D/F# Em C
by the turning of cards, by the swinging of stones
D G C
but still i’m here hoping for what i can’t hold
Am G/B D
for some kind of sign from above
[Chorus]
G Em C D
so turn out the lights, let the diamonds be damned
G Em C D
a reverie is sweeter in the dark
Em C D
and i don’t got nothing but two empty hands
G/B C D
and this slow burning flame of a heart
G/B C D
and this slow burning flame of a heart
[Verse]
G D/F# Em C
and midnight comes rolling all bottles and bags
G D/F# Em C
they come to rest soft in the park
D G C
and a beautiful woman, her voice made of glass
Am G/B D
stirs in a dream in the dark
[Verse]
G D/F# Em C
and i don’t believe that the future is told
G D/F# Em C
by the weight of a word, but by the way it’s spoke
D G C
and still i’m here holding your name in my throat
Am G/B D
and isn’t it sweet on my tongue
[Chorus]
G Em C D
so turn out the lights, let the diamonds be damned
G Em C D
a reverie is sweeter in the dark
Em C D
and i don’t got nothing but two empty hands
G/B C D
and this slow burning flame of a heart
G/B C D
and this slow burning flame of a heart
[Brige]
Em C
and the dawn glows, and it spreads like a spill
Em C Am D
in the shadows, someone whispers it will be alright
[Verse]
G D/F# Em C
the streetlights are faded, the sidewalk a song
G D/F# Em C
of footsteps, and papers, and telephones
D G C
and darling it’s raining, come take me back home
Am G/B D
it seems that i’ve seen quite enough
[Verse]
G D/F# Em C
and i don’t know which way i’m bound to believe
G D/F# Em C
the story itself, or the space between
D G C
but still i’m here wiping my eyes on my sleeve
Am G/B D
at the beautiful world waking up
G D/F# Em C x4
[Verse]
G D/F# Em C
the streetlights are diamonds, the sidewalk a bed
G D/F# Em C
of boot heels and garbage and cigarettes
D G C
and only the hopeless and lonesome are left
