  D               Bm
Slapped my face slammed the door
  F#m
A dozen roses lay on the floor
   D                  Bm
I saw her friends and I was told
     F#m
She blocked my number from her cellphone
D                Bm
You said we were meant to be
     F#m
Now this obsession is killing me
   D            Bm
Until I have a heart attack
      F#m
I'll keep on trying to win you back

  D
Alone at last
                         F#m
I can't wait till we're alone at last
                    A
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
    Bm      C#m   D        E
To hold you in my arms at last

Chorus:
   D
Forever forever
     Bm
I'll walk a thousand miles
        F#m
Just to tell her to tell her
    F#m
Our love is still alive
          D
And I'll never I'll never
     Bm
I'll never let it die
           F#m
Well you'd better watch your step
        F#m
She's a diamond on a landmine

I’m not so sure about this word
But she kept calling me insecure
I tried to quit but there’s no use
‘Cause I’m addicted to her abuse

She’s in control of everything
I’m just a puppet, she pulls my strings
Denying truth, I’ll test my fate
And keep on playing this wicked game

Alone at last
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last

Chorus

D
Better watch your step
        Bm
She's a diamond on a landmine
F#m
Better watch your step
         A
She's a diamond on a landmine
Bm C#m   D E   D
Waiting to explode

E                 F#m        D
We're dancing on thin ice before
E                F#m      D
Frozen from the winter's cold
E                  F#m     D
And if it were to crack below
    Bm C#m  D   E   D
I'd never  let you go

Alone at last
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last

Chorus

Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode

You better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better not touch
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better to forget
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode
