And all my demons, you said, come and go with a haze
I might as well took a
I'll grow old in my way.
Just like you do.
(I put the basic chords in here that I think fit but if
you find better ones let me know, I converted the chords Ben uses
when in CGCGGc tuning to standard but some are impossible (4th fret and 12th...) but you
can play around with these ones if you want to get
a more matching sound

022400
542400 )
Chorus
GG/F#C
Oh there ain't no diamonds in the boredom
GG/F#C
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
GG/F#C
Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more
AmCG
So be clear, just to be clear
AmCG
So be clear, be clear.

Just driftwood for the sea
Heavy as the horses, that carry me away.
That carry me away.
