Gold chords

G

G
Oh, the night is growing colder,
        C                     G
And the stars have lost their shine.
G
And I have been forsaken,
                            D
By everything I thought was mine.
    G      D       G
For in the darkest hour,
         C
When the final story's told
                       G               
No matter how bright I glittered, baby,
D                 G
I could never be gold.

G
You gave up your finest treasure,
        C
For the one you saw in me.
    G
But how could I know the measure,
                        D
Of all you needed me to be.
         G         D       G
Though I came with sweet intentions,
        C
More my pockets could not hold.
                       G              
No matter how bright I glittered, baby,
D                G
I could never be gold.

  C
I finally gave up counting,
    G
The ways you said I let you down.
       C                            G
When I fell into that river of no return,
                   D
And you watched me drown.
           G       D         G
Oh I could sparkle like a diamond,
     C
Have silver line my soul.
                       G              
No matter how bright I glittered, baby,
D                G    D  G
I could never be gold.

C   G   D   G   x2

              C
You looked so high and low for heaven,
           G
I tried so hard to show the way.
             C
But though I flew on wings of angels,
             G              D
My feet were always made of clay.
             G        D         G
I could come trailing clouds of glory,
            C
But you saw nothing to behold.
                       G              
No matter how bright I glittered, baby,
D                G
I could never be gold.

   C                   G              
No matter how bright I glittered, baby,
D                G
I could never be gold.
