Diamonds, roses,
                          A
I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness,
    G                          D
Part this red river of pain.
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness,
           A                                 G                                D
But I need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I will die.
        A                 G                          D
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near,
          A                G                     D
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer.
            A                 G                 D
So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here,
         A                                    G
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is a queer.
D
Everytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles,
            A
But I he never ever asks a single thing about me,
     G
If I die, he'd hear about it eventually.

Go home to an empty apartment and call a best friend who is a queer.
