A Diamonds used to be coal Look young cause they got soul That's why they're beautiful A And my heart used to be cold 'Til your hands laid on my soul Baby, that's why you're beautiful F#m D I'm not wondering why.... A E The sky's blue; that's not my business F#m D All I know is I.... A E Look up and tell myself A9 "Be patient, love...that could be us..." A9 Lovers used to make love And die just to give us Their piece of the beautiful A9 Remember when we made love? Love...... Wasn't it beautiful? F#m D Don't ask me why A E The sky's blue; that's not my business F#m D All I know is I.... A E Look up and tell myself A9 "Be patient, love...that could be us..." F#m D A Diamonds used to be coal E F#m Look young cause they got soul D A And my heart used to be cold E 'Til your hands laid on my soul Bm E Somebody's got to stay deep in love A7M That could be us.. That's why we're beautiful A9 That's why you're beautiful A9 Ooh Why, why A9 That's why you're beautiful That's why you're beautiful That's why you're beautiful
