              Beck - Diamond in the Sleeze 
 
E                C                        F 
A diamond in the sleaze  / Down on bended knees 
                    B7                          E 
A thousand grizzled nerves hangin' loose at the end  
 
E                   C                            F 
It's later than you think / It's gone before you blink  
           B7                     A 
Out of the crosshairs and into the crowd  
 
A      C                        A         C 
Do you want to see me suffering? / Do you want to see me suffering?  
 
E             G     F#m        E   G  F#m 
How could you let a good thing go? 
E             G     F#m        F 
How could you let a good thing go?  
 
 
E             C                        F 
A lion in the cage  / Shakes his golden mane  
                B7                           E 
He doesn't care who notices where he's gonna lie  
 
E                C                              F 
You came to beg a meal  / You're older than you feel  
                 B7              A  
Keyboard of your memory is coming apart  
 
A      C                        A         C 
It's a weight upon my shoulder  / It's a weight upon my shoulder  
 
E             G     F#m        E   G  F#m 
How could you let a good thing go? 
E             G     F#m        F 
How could you let a good thing go?  
 
E       Dm            A  Bm E       Dm            A   
I won't ever let you go  / I won't ever let you go  
 
The doctor takes a rest  
Inside a hornets nest  
Polaroids of patients who refuse to be cured  
 
A life lived under glass  
Stolen Cadillacs  
Can you hear the saxophones peelin' the paint?  
 
A      C                        A         C 
Do you want to see me suffering? / Do you want to see me suffering?  
E             G     F#m        E   G  F#m 
How could you let a good thing go? 
E             G     F#m        F 
How could you let a good thing go?  
 
I won't ever let you go  
I won't ever let you go  
I won't ever let you go  
I won't ever let you go
