lyrics

Amethyst

F Bb G C
You can have what you want in this life
F Bb G C
If you can muster the strength to believe
F Bb G C
Some will try to shove you down in this life
F Bb G C
But it’s those who fail to see

Bb C F
Money can’t bring happiness
Bb C F
And there is no substitute for love
Bb C F
There is no stone or amethyst
Bb C F
It’s from inside and up above

F Bb G C
You can drown yourself in cruelty and sorrow
F Bb G C
You can try to live a life collecting things
F Bb G C
You can misjudge the power found in kindness
F Bb G C
It’s up to you, the fruits your actions bring

Bb C F
Money can’t bring happiness
Bb C F
And there is no substitute for love
Bb C F
There is no stone or amethyst
Bb C F
It’s from inside and up above

C D G F
C D G G
C D G F
C D G G

Bb C F
Money can’t bring happiness
Bb C F
And there is no substitute for love
Bb C F
There is no stone or amethyst
Bb C F
It’s from inside and up above
Bb C F
Money can’t bring happiness
Bb C F
And there is no substitute for love
Bb C F
There is no stone or amethyst
Bb C F
It’s from inside and up above

C Bb F
