[G] [C]
[F] So I guess December, I think of nothing, [Em] living in darkness.
[D] And the diamond lady [E] there, she's not telling [C] me, don't even know her name.
[F] It's amazing, times have changed, [Em] in days of old.
[D] But imagination [G] doesn't leave you standing, [C] out in the cold.
[F] Dancing, singing, now you're talking, [Em] it grieves your soul.
[D] But [E] hear the thousand faces, [C] I never know.
[F]
[Em] But the moon's so [F] high, the wind's so low, [Em] the child's moving in and [F] out.
It's a miracle, it's a miracle for the day.
[Em]
[C] [G] [C]
[F] There are complications, I would say, [Em] if you know the game.
[G] Agitate, but it doesn't seem like that, [C] you take it all in again.
[F]
Driving way downtown, searching love, [Em] but the sky's at night.
[D] And the diamond lady [G] there, she's not talking, [C] it's not right.

[D] [G] [C]
[F]
[Em] True to [F] life, true
[Em] to [F] life.
[Em] True [E] to [F] life.
[Em] So
[G] [C]
[F] I turn the pages, tell the story, [Em] from town to town.
[G] People tell me, be determined, [C] you're from the country, boy.
[F] Too much love, too much trouble, [Em] much time alone.
[D] Long gone, but see's [C] I'm down, I'll soon be home.
