Song: Gold Tab

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

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

I [C]finally [F]gave up [C]counting
The ways you [G]said I let you down
When I [C]fell in[F]to that [C]river of no re[G]turn
And you watched me [D]drown
Oh I can [G]sparkle [D]like a [G]diamond
Have [C]silver line my soul
No matter how bright I [G]glitter baby
I [D]could never be [G]gold

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

No matter how bright I glitter baby
I could never be gold
