Intro: D  
 Is it rDeal, what I fAeel, is it lGove,
 Is it lGove that's making me weak,D  
 In the nF#might, and when she's nEmext to me,
 I just stAumble on my words,G  
 And all the thAings I want to sF#may, come out wrong,Bm  
 I am lGost in a dream,
 But I know this is more than it sAeems, I need a little help,
 DSomeone put on a lGove song,
 ATo bring her closer to mBme,
 GAll I want is this dDiamond in the dark,
 ATo begin what must bDe,
 When she tDurns at her nAame, when she smGiles,
 When she smGiles, I feel it again,D  
 In my hF#meart, across the crEmowded room,
 She is jAust a dance away,G  
 And I can fAeel her like a fF#mire that's burning strong,Bm  
 She keeps lGooking at me,
 And I know this was all meant to bAe, and then it had to come,
 DSomeone put on a lGove song,
 ATo bring her closer to mBme,
 GAll I want is this dDiamond in the dark,
 ATo begin what must bBme,
 GAll I want is this dDiamond in the dark,
 ATo begin what must bDe,G  A  Bm  G  D  A  Bm  
 GAll I want is this dDiamond in the dark,
 ATo begin what must bDe,A  D
