Em C I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again G But that's not unusual D It's just that the moon is full Em And you decided to call And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall Chorus: C D But we both know what memories can bring Em They bring diamonds and rust C D Yes we both know what memories can bring Em They bring diamonds and rust Bm Now I see you standing all around Am And snow in your hair Bm Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel Am Over Washington Square C Our breath comes in white clouds, G mingles and hangs in the air Fmaj7 Speaking strictly for me Bm C D Em we both could've died then and there Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You were so good with words And at keeping things vague Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes, I love you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid Chorus C D Em Diamonds, diamonds and rust C D Em Diamonds, diamonds and rust C D Em Diamonds, diamonds and rust C D Em Diamonds, diamonds and rust You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C D Em Fm Fmaj7 Fmaj G Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
