B                 E
Your Californian nights
                    A
Warm body held you tight
     E       F#
Was just a dream
B                    E
But all the diamond lights
                          A         E     F#
Can't give you peacefull lives or sweet dreams

Oh my God, you really think you have it made
Your heart is one with first-class expensive paint
You drink champagne, eat caviar
A color-TV in a back of your car
But one of these days you're gonna be surprised

Diamonds never made a lady
Lover or a friend, I know it
Diamonds never made a lady
Oh, your dreams will end, I know it

Chorus - x2

The California nights when I held you tight
Was just a dream
But all the diamond lights
Can't give you peaceful lives—
