Chorus:
 C        F             C
Come and take me to the airport
          F                 C
Come and board me on that plane
              F           C
Because I've got no expectations
         A#        F    C
To ever pass this way again

C    F             C
Well once I was a rich man
     F           C
But now I am so poor
 F           C
Never in my weary life
        A#         F     C
Have I felt like this before

Your love is like a diamond
And you cast your pearls to swine
And as I see you leaving me
It drags my peace of mind

Chorus

Your love is like the water
See it sparkling on the stone
Your love is like the music
First it's here and then it's gone

Chorus - x2
