Verse 1 1
When you [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] ask how I've		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] been here with-		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] out you,
I [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] like to		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] say I've been		 fine, and I [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] do.
But we [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] both know the truth is hard to		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] come by.
And if [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] I told the		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Second] truth, that's not quite		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] true.

Chorus
Some days are [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] diamonds,		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] some days are		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] stone.
Some times the [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Third] hard times  won't leave me a-		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] lone.		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
Some times the [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] cold winds		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] blow a chill in my		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] bones.		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth]
Some days are [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] diamonds,		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] some days are		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] stone.		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth]

Verse 2
Now the [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] face that I		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] see in my		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] mirror,
more and [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] more is a stranger to		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] me.
More and [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] more I can see there's a		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] danger
in be- [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] coming what I		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Second] never thought I'd		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] be.

Chorus
Some days are [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] diamonds,		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] some days are		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] stone.
Some times the [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Third] hard times won't leave me a-		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] lone.		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
Some times the [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] cold winds		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] blow a chill in my		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] bones.		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth]
Some days are [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] diamonds,		 [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] some days are		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] stone.
