DDiamonds, (xx0232@1)roses,
                          AI (x02220@1)need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness,
    G (320003@1)                        DPart (xx0232@1)this red river of pain.

I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness,
           A (x02220@1)                               G (320003@1)                              DBut (xx0232@1)I need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I will die.

        A (x02220@1)               G (320003@1)                        DAnd (xx0232@1)everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near,
          A (x02220@1)              G (320003@1)                   DEverybody (xx0232@1)got somebody with their wine and their beer.
            A (x02220@1)               G (320003@1)               DSo, (xx0232@1)I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here,
         A (x02220@1)                                  GWith (320003@1)an empty apartment and a best friend who is a queer.

DEverytime (xx0232@1)I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles,
            ABut (x02220@1)I he never ever asks a single thing about me,
     GIf (320003@1)I die, he'd hear about it eventually.
