Diamond and a Tether I'm not sure about the Am part in the verses Verses:

^GPity, ^C take pity on ^Gme ^C Because I'm ^Amnot the ^Am/Bman that ^CI should ^Gbe I'm ^Galways ^C turning to ^Grun ^C From the ^Ampeople ^Am/BI should ^Cnot be a^Gfraid of And ^Gdarling, ^C you should ^Gknow ^C That I have ^Amfanta-^Am/Bsies a^Cbout being a^Glone It's like love is a ^Glesson ^C That I can't ^Glearn ^C So I make the ^Amsame mi^Am/Bstakes at ^Ceach familiar ^Gturn

Chorus:

I know you can't ^Emhold out for^Cever Waiting on a ^Emdiamond and a ^Ctether From a ^Emboy who won't ^Cswim Who won't ^B7dip his toe ^Emin Just to ^A7keep you ^Chere with ^Ghim

I've got this habit I abhor When we go out, I'm always watching the door As if there's someone I'm going to see Who could out-do the things that you do to me I know you can't hold out forever Waiting on a diamond and a tether From a boy who won't fly Who won't take to the skies If he thinks you're about to say goodbye Pity, take pity on me Because I'm not half the man that I should be And I don't blame you, you've had enough With all these empty promises and countless bluffs Chorus with a different bit at the end:

I know you can't ^Emhold out for^Cever Waiting on a ^Emdiamond and a ^Ctether From a ^Emboy who won't ^Cjump When he's ^B7falls in ^Emlove He just ^A7stands with his ^Ctoes on the ^Emedge And he ^A7waits for it to ^Cdisappear a^Ggain
