D
If I had my way tonight

I would surely change your mind
G                                  D
You might be surprised at what you see
D
I know I don't look the part,

Don't turn it off before it starts
G                                D
I can hear your heart talkin' to me
A
I'm not a stone that's been polished and shined

I'm not the diamond that you had in mind

I can't hide it, you get what you see
D
I've got a lot of rough edges on me
D
Carnegie or Albert Hall,
D
You don't need no crystal ball
G                                      D
You know you'll never catch me in that scene
D
I like my music way up loud, the house is rockin'

When I go out
G                                        D
The midnight hour that's where I want to be
A
I'm not a stone that's been polished and shined

I'm not the diamond that you had in mind

I can't hide it, you get what you see
D
I've got a lot of rough edges on me

Solo 

A
I'm not a stone that's been polished and shined

I'm not the diamond that you had in mind

I can't hide it, you get what you see
D
I've got a lot of rough edges on me
