Capo on 2nd fret
[Intro]
D      G
[Verse 1]
         G                                                       D
Is there ever enough space between us to keep us both honest and true
    D7                                                            G
Why is it so hard just to sit in the yard and stare at the sky so blue
        G
I got a new way of walkin' and a new way of talkin'
G7                     C
Honey, when I'm around you
       C                         G
But it gives me the blues when I got some good news
      D                           G
And you're not there to bring it to
[Verse 2]
G                                                                    D
Life is a blessin', it's a delicatessen of all the little favors you do
    D7
All wrapped up together, no matter the weather
                      G
Baby, you always come through
       G
It's a measure of treasure that gives me the pleasure
   G7                   C
Of loving you the way I do
          C                       G
And you know I would gladly say I need your love badly
    D                             G
And bring these little things to you
[Chorus]
                 C                  G
'Cause you got gold, gold inside of you
          C                  G
You got gold, gold inside of you
             D                  G
Well, I got some gold inside me too
[Instrumental]
C      G

D      G
[Verse 3]
          G
Well, I'm thinkin' I'm knowin' that I gotta be goin'
                            D
You know I hate to say so long
   D7                                                                    G
It gives me an ocean of mixed up emotion, I'll have to work it out in a song
          G
Well, I'm leavin' a lot for the little I got
        G7                        C
But you know a lot of little will do
           C                              G
And if you give me your love I'll let it shine up above
     D                         G
And light my way back home to you
[Chorus]
                 C                  G
'Cause you got gold, gold inside of you
          C                  G
You got gold, gold inside of you
             D                  G
Well, I got some gold inside me too
        C                        G
You got wheels turning inside of you
        C                        G
You got wheels turning inside of you
            D                        G
Well, I got wheels turning inside me too
