Eb                
Spent my life looking for 
Ab                           Eb     Ab 
Happiness like it was buried treasure 
Eb 
Somewhere behind the secret door 
Ab                              Eb 
Surely there were riches beyond measure 
        Bb 
I would take my sanity to task 
                            Ab 
Walk across broken glass to find it 
       Bb 
And no mountain top was left unclimbed 
                               Ab                 Bb 
Before I ever took the time to take a  look inside me 
                Eb   Bb  Fm7 Ab             Eb    Bb Fm7 Ab 
These dreams of mine         these precious years 
            Ab        Bb                 Eb   Eb    Eb  Ebsus 
Oh how they shine     like diamonds and tears 
Eb 
Oh sure, there was love 
Ab                                 Eb 
And of course I thought it'd be my salvation 
Eb 
And in a way, I guess he was 
Ab                             Eb 
There's always room for higher education 
            Bb 
Yes, I have said and heard the word goodbye 
                               Ab 
Felt the blade and turned the knife sideways 
Bb 
I'd crossed bridges while they'd burn 
                                      Ab          Bb 
To keep from losing what I've learned along the way 
                Eb   Bb  Fm7 Ab             Eb    Bb Fm7 Ab 
These dreams of mine,        these precious years 
            Ab    Bb                Eb   Eb    Eb  Ebsus 
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears 
 
SOLO 
 
                 Eb   Bb  Fm7 Ab             Eb    Bb Fm7 Ab 
These dreams of mine          these precious years 
             Ab    Bb                Eb    
Oh how they shine  like diamonds and tears 
                   Eb   Bb  Fm7 Ab               Eb    Bb Fm7 Ab 
The slow grace of time,         the joy and the fears 
            Ab    Bb                Eb 
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
