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

Chorus
Oh there a[G]in't no di[G/F#]amonds in the bor[C]edom
Oh there ai[G]n't no da[G/F#]rkness that I f[C]ear
Oh there ai[G]n't no [G/F#]way to say I lo[C]ve you more
So be[Am] cle[C]ar, just to be cl[G]ear
So be c[Am]lear[C], be cl[G]ear.
