Kevin Meisel  Coal And Diamonds written by Kevin Meisel

E          B                       E
We've both seen our faith slipping away
                     B
Over hard nights and gin
                    E
We've numbered our days
                        A
So baby what's it gonna take
                        E
To break into something new
                     B
With nothing left to lose
                     E 
That's how I come to you
               B                         E
And we've both surrended to these bitter truths
                 B                             E
Hard things remembered have left their mark on you
                    A
So maybe now's the time
                     E 
We take these tender things
         B                      E 
Coal and diamonds that's what I bring
         A                      E
Coal and diamonds that's what I bring
                        B
Won't be one way or the other
                      E
But maybe both in the end
                     A 
So lets loosen these tethers
                  E
And the ties that bind
                    B
Cause baby cold and diamonds
                             E
Are treasures well worth the find

         A                      E
Coal and diamonds that's what I bring
                        B
Won't be one way or the other
                      E
But maybe both in the end
                     A 
So lets loosen these tethers
                  E
And the ties that bind
                    B
Cause baby cold and diamonds
                             E
Are treasures well worth the find
