 Verse 1 
 
 
 C                                          
 I've searched the world over all of my life
      F                    
 Just looking for something
                C     
 To make my love shine
 
 Like a candle that burns in the night
 F                         
 But I came up with nothing
                       G   
 Till I looked in your eyes
 F                 G     
 Deeper and deeper inside
 
 Chorus 
 
 
     C          G        
 And all of the treasures
   F                 
 I found in your soul
          Am        F      
 Was like finding a diamond
                        C G F F 
 When you're mining for coal
 
 Verse 2 
 
 
 C                                    
 I've been a fool for glitter and gold
     F                            C   
 And women that sparkle shiny and cold
 Like a statue carved out of ice
      F                  
 They shimmer like tinsel
                     G    
 On a blue Christmas night
 F                            G     
 But they never were quite so bright
 
 Chorus 
 
 
    C           G       
 As all of the treasures
   F                  
 That loving you holds
           Am               F 
 It's like finding a diamond
                        C G F F 
 When you're mining for coal
 
 Bridge 
 
 
   G          
 I was a miner
         F                  C   
 And you were a rock in the dust
      D                 
 But you became flawless
                               G   
 When you were you polished by love
 
 Chorus 
 
 
     C       G       
 And when I found you
   F               
 I lost all control
    Am        F      
 I found me a diamond
                 C   
 Just mining for coal
 
     C       G       
 And when I found you
   F               
 I lost all control
    Am        F      
 I found me a diamond
                 C G F F C 
 Just mining for coal
