Dm                        Dm/C
All I am is the bones you made for me
    Dm/B                      Dm/A#
So garishly clean, white as the horses,
that carry me away

All my demons, you said
Come and go with the days
A mind's will to play
I grow old in my ways, just like you do

Chorus:
         D/F#      G           C9
Oh there ain't no diamonds in the boredom
          D/F#     G         C9
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
          D/F#     G            C9
Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more, no
   Em       G        C9
So be clear, just to be clear
   Em       G        C9
So be clear, be clear.

All I am is the bones you made for me
Just driftwood for the sea
Heavy as the horses
That carry me away
(That carry me away)

Chorus:
Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the bottom
No, there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more, no
So be clear, be clear

Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the bottom
Oh-oh-oh, no darkness that I fear
Oh-oh-oh, no way to say I love you more
So be clear, just to be clear
So be clear, be clear

Chorus:
Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the bottom
No, there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more, no
So be clear, be clear
