[F]on[E]
[A]To drink the[G] cup 'til every

[A]You climb the ladder[G] to
suc[F]cess[E][A]

[E]Diamonds and pearls
Silver and [A]gold
[E]Soon fade away

[E]vain[A]
[Dsus4][D][Dsus4][C][F][E]

[Verse 3]
[A]They say tha[G]t pride's before the[F] fall[E]
[A]The stakes are[G] high,

You just [A]can't live [Dsus4]a lie[D][B]

[Verse 4]
[E]Diamonds and pearls
Silver and [A]gold
