verse 1

F G
if there’s a diamond in my mind
F G
will it dwindle down to naught
F G
or will it always be defined
F G
if i cant fix it with my heart

chorus

Cm F G
so i’m returning to the place
Cm F G
that i might look into your eyes
Cm F G
and look so hard that i can taste
Em G
that winter sun that never sets
Em G
the sparrow caught up in the nets
Em G
the perfect chorus when it hits
F G
don’t slam the door , boy , when you leave

verse 2

F G
was heading northward when i saw
F G
that empty house out in the midst
F G
there are traces there for sure
F G
on every mouth you ever kissed

Cm F G
so i’m returning to the word
Cm F G
find my place between the lines
Cm F G
where i might dutifully recall
Em G
the blue within your seagull stare
Em G
the funny ways you had to care
Em G
for every little thing beyond compare
F G
don’t slam the door , boy , when you leave

chorus
* * * * * * *
Em G
now i call out in the gulf
Em G
when you went walking with wolf
Em G
hey boy , you really brought it on yourself
F Cm
don’t slam the door , boy , when you leave

Em G
the strangest for we ever faced
Em G
the stark in every staging grace
Em G
is crushing diamonds into paste
F G
don’t slam the door , boy , when you leave
F G
don’t slam the door , boy , when you leave
F G
don’t slam the door , boy , when you leave
