[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
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.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Verse 3]
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.
