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 042400 022400 542400 ) Chorus G G/F# C Oh there ain't no diamonds in the boredom G G/F# C Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear G G/F# C Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more Am C G So be clear, just to be clear Am C G So be clear, be clear.
