[Verse]
Fmaj7 
There's one sitting in a pawn shop, glass counter,
                Am                           G
someone down in California someone traded it for a TV.
Fmaj7                                        Am 
Another one in a pretty blue box somewhere up in New York,
              G
white ribbon, Tiffany's.
F                    
One's catching dust in a drawer, in a dresser,
   Am                            G               F
at your Grandma's house, it's been there since 1953,
    G
but honestly.


[Chorus]
C                                                         F
A diamond's just a diamond 'til you put on the right left hand.
Am                                                   F
Love is just a word 'til you feel it and you finally understand.
C                                    F
Some things don't mean anything 'til one day they mean everything,
             Am    G            F
and you're flying, smiling, and shining,
           C          F
kinda like diamonds. 
              Am    F
kinda like diamonds


[Verse 2]
F                                     
I ain't saying they ain't pretty, and the way they feel
             Am                       G
doesn't feel just like an answer to a little girl's dream.
Fmaj7                                         Am
I ain't saying they ain't fun to show to your friends,
            G
and get the chills when you hear 'em scream.
   F                     Am
But if you're hearts not in it,
C
forget it. 


[Chorus]
C                                                         F
A diamond's just a diamond 'til you put on the right left hand.
Am                                                   F
Love is just a word 'til you feel it and you finally understand.
C                                    F
Some things don't mean anything 'til one day they mean everything,
             Am    G            F
and you're flying, smiling, and shining,
           C          F
kinda like diamonds. 
          Am        F
kinda like diamonds


[Bridge]
Am      G                Dm7     F
I don't need one just to hold on to,
Am      G                 F
I don't want one unless it comes with you.


[Chorus]
C                                                         F
A diamond's just a diamond 'til you put on the right left hand.
Am                                                   F
Love is just a word 'til you feel it and you finally understand.
C                                    F
Some things don't mean anything 'til one day they mean everything,
             Am    G            F
and you're flying, smiling, and shining,
           C          F
kinda like diamonds. 
          Am        F
kinda like diamonds
