Gold

D7

[Verse 1]
Gm                            
She was digging for gold in the 
                            Cm
bottom of the holes in my pockets
But, when she came up for air, she 
                             Gm
had nothing but dirt in her hands
So, with a phantoming gaze, she 
                    Cm
retired to her speculations
Deciding between the dream and the 
                   Eb
menacing man that I am


[Chorus]
                      Bb        Gm
But I was praying we won't be 
      F
forced to stay

Until our hearts stop beating
D7             Gm    Gm/F   Eb
Too afraid to admit defeat again
                       Bb     Gm
I didn't wanna say it wasn't real
F                                
I would rather stick to thinking 
Eb      D7
I'm too esoteric

D7


[Verse 2]
 Gm                              
She perfected the art of dividing 
                    Cm
her love from her lover
But, in the end, I would find she 
                           Gm
retired her heart from her man
And, in a riotous daze, she 
                        Cm
conspired to forced litigations
Deciding to distance herself from 
                       Eb
the menacing man that I am


[Chorus]
                        Bb     
And she was praying we won't be 
   Gm      F
forced to stay

Until our hearts stop beating
D7             Gm    Gm/F   Eb
Too afraid to admit defeat again
                       Bb     Gm
I didn't wanna say it wasn't real
F                                
I was, rather, stuck in thinking 
Eb      D7
I'm too es-o-ter ... Esoteric

Celebrate that we won't be forced

to stay

Unafraid to admit defeat again

A little closer to something real
F                            
Still, I just can't fight that 
          Eb      D7
feeling I'm too esoteric
