Golden

D                          G
She stuck around 'til the money ran 
out
         D                A
and the good feeling was gone.
          D
She said Wil you're golden,
          G
but I've gotta get going
          D                 A  
and with those words she started 
          D
moving on!


[Verse 2]
D
Got me six weeks of work
G
Building houses in the sun
D                        A
in suburbs without any faces
D                                 
and I'll never see the joy that my
  G
 handiwork brings
                 D             
because I'll be gone before the 
  A             D
families move in!


[Verse 3]
D
And I'll pack up my belongings
     G
and head for a town
         D                     A
where a name doesn't carry a shiver
          D                        
and I'll find a new job, and there 
      G
are always other girls
         D          A        
who can put me in touch with a 
    D
dealer

[Verse 4]
     D
And you were smoking meth

       G
in a public restroom
      D                            
while I was racking up lines in the
  A
 sun
          D                     
we both ended up sleeping on the 
    G
mattress on the floor
              D                A  
promising to never tell our 
                  D
parents what we'd just done


[Verse 5]
    D                            G
I spent some time in bed with a girl
       D
whose name was only whispered
     A
and even then at night.
          D
I was blackened, I was bruised,
            G
and I was almost out of booze
    D                          A  
but I still managed to put up one 
           D
hell of a fight!


[Verse 6]
     D                       
And she stuck around 'til the 
    G
bandages came off
    D                     A
and I had full use of my hands
          D                        
and one night by the river she said
      G
 'I nursed you back to health -
     D             A           D
and that was the extent of my plans 
(you piece of shit!)

[Verse 7]
     D                         G
And now I'm alive, all be it alive 
and alone
        D                   A
with nothing but scars to prove it
         D                   G
and my memory fades, but I swear I 
heard you say
     D               A      D
One day we're gonna finally do it!


[Verse 8]
      D                            
And we're about as welcome here as 
   G
anywhere else dear,
     D                      A
at least this place has no fire or 
pitchforks.
        D                     G
And everywhere we go, you forget 
that you know
       D               A       
the meaning of a gold band on an 
          D
index finger!


[Verse 9]
      D
And I've been blackened, I've been 
beaten
              G
I've been banned and I've been 
barred,
   D                         
kissed and kicked in the same 
     A
heartbeat
       D                   
And I keep coming back like 
    G
Lucifer's bats
       D                     A 
maybe this time I'll be a little 
          D
more discreet


[Verse 10]
    D                            G
And I'll stick around 'til the money
 runs out
         D               A
and the good feeling is gone
               D
And I'll say 'Mary you're golden,
           G
But I've gotta get going'
     D                      A 
and with those words I'll start 
         D
moving on.
