Golden (CHORDS) by Wil Wagner
[Verse 1]~
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 D
and with those words she started 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 G
and I'll never see the joy that my handiwork brings
D A D
because I'll be gone before the 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 G
and I'll find a new job,, and there are always other girls
D A D
who can put me in touch with a dealer
[Link]~
D G D A D G D A D
[Verse 4]~
D
And you were smoking meth
G
in a public restroom
D A
while I was racking up lines in the sun
D G
we both ended up sleeping on the mattress on the floor
D A D
promising to never tell our 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 D
but I still managed to put up one hell of a fight!
[Verse 6]~
D G
And she stuck around 'til the bandages came off
D A
and I had full use of my hands
D G
and one night by the river she said 'I nursed you back to health -
D A D
and that was the extent of my plans (you piece of shit!)
[Link]~
D G D A D G D A D
[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 G
And we're about as welcome here as 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 D
the meaning of a gold band on an 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 A
kissed and kicked in the same heartbeat
D G
And I keep coming back like Lucifer's bats
D A D
maybe this time I'll be a little more discreet
[Verse 10]~
D G
And I'll stick around 'til the money runs out
D G
and the good feeling is gone
D
And I'll say 'Mary you're golden,,
G
But I've gotta get going'
D A D
and with those words I'll start moving on!
