[Intro] Em  C  G  D

    C                    Em 
The sun shone high those few summer days 
C                  Em 
Left us in a song, wide-eyed haze 
Am           D 
It shone like gold 
Am           D 
It shone like gold 

    C               Em 
But just as the moon it shines straight 
C      Em 
So dawn goes down today 
Am         D 
No gold can stay 
Am         D 
No gold can stay 

C 
What if our hard work ends in despair? 
G 
What if the road won't take me there? 
Am                  D              Em 
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold 

C 
What if to love and be loved is not enough? 
G 
What if I fall and can't bear to get up? 
Am                  D              Em 
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold 
             Em  C  G  D  Em  C  Em
We could stay gold 

      C                 Em 
We're on our way through rugged land 
C                       Em 
Top of that mountain we wanted to stand 
Am            D 
With hearts of gold 
Am            D 
With hearts of gold 

          C              Em 
But there is only forward, no other way 
C                                  Em 
Tomorrow was your hope at the end of the day 
Am            D 
And gold turns gray 
Am            D 
And gold turns gray 

C 
What if our hard work ends in despair? 
G 
What if the road won't take me there? 
Am                  D              Em 
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold 

C 
What if to love and be loved is not enough? 
G 
What if I fall and can't bear to get up? 
Am                  D              Em 
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold 
             Em  C  G  D  Em  C  Em
We could stay gold 

C         G            Em       Am 
All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge 
   C    G         Em         Am 
Of memories where I can't get back 
C         G            Em       Am 
All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge 
   C    G         Em         Am 
Of memories where I can't get back 
   Em  Am  G  D  Em  C  Em 
To you 

C 
What if our hard work ends in despair? 
G 
What if the road won't take me there? 
Am                  D              Em 
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold 

C 
What if to love and be loved is not enough? 
G 
What if I fall and can't bear to get up? 
Am                  D              Em 
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold 
             Em  C  G  D  Em  C  Em 
We could stay gold 

          Em  C  G  D  Em  C  Em
Could stay gold
