[Intro]
C C C C
[Verse 1]
C
I've searched the world over all of my life
F
Just looking for something
C
To make my love shine
Like a candle that burns in the night
F
But I came up with nothing
G
Till I looked in your eyes
F G
Deeper and deeper inside
[Chorus]
C G
And all of the treasures
F
I found in your soul
Am F
Was like finding a diamond
C G F F
When you're mining for coal
[Verse 2]
C
I've been a fool for glitter and gold
F C
And women that sparkle shiny and cold
Like a statue carved out of ice
F
They shimmer like tinsel
G
On a blue Christmas night
F G
But they never were quite so bright
[Chorus]
C G
As all of the treasures
F
That loving you holds
Am F
It's like finding a diamond
C G F F
When you're mining for coal
[Bridge]
G
I was a miner
F C
And you were a rock in the dust
D
But you became flawless
G
When you were you polished by love
[Chorus]
C G
And when I found you
F
I lost all control
Am F
I found me a diamond
C
Just mining for coal
C G
And when I found you
F
I lost all control
Am F
I found me a diamond
C G F F C
Just mining for coal
