Verse 1
 
C 
I've searched the world over all of my life 
     F 
Just looking for something 
               C 
To make my love shine 
 
Like a candle that burns in the night 
F 
But I came up with nothing 
                      G 
Till I looked in your eyes 
F                 G 
Deeper and deeper inside 
 
Chorus
 
    C          G 
And all of the treasures 
  F 
I found in your soul 
         Am                F 
Was like finding a diamond 
                       C G F F 
When you're mining for coal 
 
Verse 2
 
C 
I've been a fool for glitter and gold 
    F                            C 
And women that sparkle shiny and cold  
 
Like a statue carved out of ice 
     F 
They shimmer like tinsel 
                    G 
On a blue Christmas night 
F                            G 
But they never were quite so bright 
 
Chorus
 
   C           G 
As all of the treasures 
  F 
That loving you holds 
          Am                F 
It's like finding a diamond 
                       C G F F 
When you're mining for coal 
 
Bridge
 
  G 
I was a miner 
        F                  C 
And you were a rock in the dust 
     D 
But you became flawless 
                              G 
When you were you polished by love 
 
Chorus
 
    C       G 
And when I found you 
  F 
I lost all control 
   Am        F 
I found me a diamond 
                C 
Just mining for coal 
 
    C       G 
And when I found you 
  F 
I lost all control 
   Am        F 
I found me a diamond 
                C G F F C 
Just mining for coal
