"Gold"
Capo 5
[Verse 1:]
CHow was the cold
Along the path I dGetermined to hold
Although it coiled round a Amperilous wing
Blinded with hot gas and Gcarving off steam
There was still smoke
CBurnt in the grass
Reclaim a portion of Gdesolate south
Add in the stirrings and Amlong lost fatigue
Barrels that hide us in Ghair fallen heed
Then became sound
[Chorus:]
FAnd I wasn't afforded a love
Covered up in Ghard earned clay
FI wasn't accorded a stop
Always in it Gso much more
FI wasn't afforded a love
Covered up in Amhard earned Gclay
And time wasn't the only Ccavernous G  Am  G  
[Verse 2:]
I hope my contour charts show up via river
Out to the only ocean
There's something peaceful that goes out via river
Out to the ocean
I was peaceful standing, I was open
[Chorus:]
And I wasn't afforded a love
Covered up in hard earned clay
I wasn't accorded a stop
Always in it so much more
I wasn't afforded a love
Covered up in hard earned clay
Time wasn't the only cavernous
Time wasn't the only cavernous
Time wasn't the only cavernous
Time wasn't the only coward

"Gold"

Capo 5

[Verse 1:]

How was the cold

Along the path I determined to hold

Although it coiled round a perilous wing

Blinded with hot gas and carving off steam

There was still smoke

Burnt in the grass

Reclaim a portion of desolate south

Add in the stirrings and long lost fatigue

Barrels that hide us in hair fallen heed

Then became sound

[Chorus:]

And I wasn't afforded a love

Covered up in hard earned clay

I wasn't accorded a stop

Always in it so much more

I wasn't afforded a love

Am G

Covered up in hard earned clay

C G Am G

And time wasn't the only cavernous

[Verse 2:]

I hope my contour charts show up via river

Out to the only ocean

There's something peaceful that goes out via river

Out to the ocean

I was peaceful standing, I was open

[Chorus:]

And I wasn't afforded a love

Covered up in hard earned clay

I wasn't accorded a stop

Always in it so much more

I wasn't afforded a love

Covered up in hard earned clay

Time wasn't the only cavernous

Time wasn't the only coward
