Em        C     D         G
I want to live, I want to give
Em          C           D        G
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
Em           C         D       G
It's these expressions I never give
Em                           G
That keep me searching for a heart of gold

I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
Em                            G
