[Verse 1]
   D
If teardrops were diamonds and only mine were used
           D                                                          C  G 
They could pave every highway coast to coast and not be close to thru
   G                             D
If teardrops were diamonds, cold blue
       D
And if heartaches were rubies stacked up just like stones
D                                                  C  G
There'd be a mountain 10 miles high built by mine alone
   G                             D
If heartaches were rubies, mine alone
    A7                                                            D 
You might begin to understand the price love has to pay for being wrong

[Verse 2]
   D
If sad thoughts were emeralds but not counting inbetween
     D                                                             C  G
Just half the ones I’ve had today could turn the whole world green
G                                                   D
If sad thoughts were emeralds, and the world’d turn green
    A                                                                      D
You might just get the message that there’s more to loneliness than can be seen

If teardrops were diamonds and only mine were used
