Some real, real strength of my ground
[Chorus]
EmYou looked at Asusme with your old, old Cmaj7eyes
That you used tAsuso
EmLook at your Asusgod in your old, old Cmaj7ways
If you lost your wAsusay,

When our hearts smashed inside
  Cmaj7  Em*       Asus   Cadd9  Cmaj9  
And in that place I saw
         Cmaj7  Em*                  Asus     Cadd9  Cmaj9  
the cold dark diamond on the cold dark floor
