[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
