G               Em
I know you're a woman
        C              A
by the way you burn below
G             Em
I'll tell you secrets so good,
        C            A
you'll never tell a soul
G          Em              C
Come closer, that bonfire holds
                A
his life like stones
G       Em            C  Em C Em C
My years, my life unknown

Diamonds from the pavement
broken glass had been
Just like these troubles
that i'm leaving to the wind
Like sapphires in boxcars
speeding towards the end
G              Em           C  A
Like thieves, my bad luck grows

Chorus:
Cmaj7
Jewel box of sadness,
  A
bring to catch your tear
D/F#                   G
Crystallise illusion shine, forgot i'm here
Cmaj7
Jewel box of sadness,
  A
bring to catch your tear
    D/F#           Gm/A#       G   Em
Oh, you left some stars in my belly

Star crossed child's love
on the bands of wedding gold
Silver studs of promise hide
in red crushed velvet folds
Inaction, intention,
like emeralds i stole
My speech of custom gold.
i think i ought to know

Chorus

D/F#           Gm/A#       G
You left some stars in my belly
You left some stars in my belly
