G/F#

G G/F#

I tossed a diamond into the stream,

it was crazy, I couldn't help it was amazing.

It went forever cross the water but wouldn't stop and didn't skip

and never looked more beautiful than just before it hit.

G G/F# Em

So I swam out to look for it, underwater, just fish

and goose's feet slappin' me don't know what's happening,

I'm knockin' on each fish's den but not a single fish is in.

C G

But you're so young and so in love,

C D

but that ain't all she's been dreaming of.

Am C

She's dreaming of you,

alone.

G G/F#

I called you up late at night,

I just can't speak when I'm high.

I must've been lonely looking for a friend

then I had a great idea but I couldn't find a pen.

G G/F#

So I went for a drive at night,

saw a crazy sight,

saw a squirrel in the yard doing backflips for change

for a lady who vacuums her heartaches away.

She's saying where is my son,

where has he gone?

Oh, nothing changed when the squirrel left

Am C

but something sure changed when the girl left.

G G/F# Em

And now she's gone, gone,

C D

and now she's gone, whoa.

G G/F#

I just keep writing the same song,

the guy's right and the dame's wrong

so turn down that stereo and pass me the chips,

D C

you won't even notice your brain start to slip.

G G/F# Em

And now they're gone, gone,

C D G

and now they're gone, whoa, whoa.
