[Chorus 1]
EmAll my life I've been searching down every dead end road
The Emonly treasure it's brought me Bmain't nothing but fool's gold
EmI'm tired of living in darkness mining for false hope
The Emonly treasure it's brought me Bmain't nothing but fool's gold
N.C.
Fool's gold, fool's gold
N.C.
Everything that don't come from the Lord is
N.C.
Fool's gold, fool's gold
N.C.
Filling your heart with false hope
[Verse 1]
  EmWell it ain't no secret I've been  Gdoing my own thing
  CRunning 'round in circles I'm just Bmliving with the pain
  EmCried out to Jesus, I say G"Forgive my soul"
He saysC, "Follow me oh sinner, Bmdown the narrow road"
[Chorus 2]
EmAll my life I've been searching down every dead end road
The Emonly treasure it's brought mBme ain't nothing but fool's gold
I'm Emtired of living in darkness mining for false hope
The Emonly treasure it's brought me Bmain't nothing but fool's gold
N.C.
Ain't nothing but fool's gold
[Verse 2]
EmI've tried it on my own it's likeG, living with a ghost
  CWhen will I realize all that Bmglitters isn't gold
  EmHide from my problems but my Gproblems never leave
  CI'm leaning on Your promises oh BmLord, deliver me
[Chorus 3]
EmAll my life I've been searching down every dead end road
The Emonly treasure it's brought me Bmain't nothing but fool's gold
I'm Emtired of living in darkness mining for false hope
The Emonly treasure it's brought me Bmain't nothing but fool's gold
N.C.
Ain't nothing but fool's gold, ain't nothing but fool's gold
[Bridge]
N.C.
Fool's gold, fool's gold
N.C.
Everything that don't come from the Lord is
N.C.
Fool's gold, fool's gold
N.C.
Filling your heart with false hope
N.C.
Fool's gold, fool's gold
N.C.
Everything that don't come from the Lord is
N.C.
Fool's gold, fool's gold
N.C.
Filling your heart with false hope
[Chorus 4]
FmAll my life I've been searching Abdown every dead end road
The Dbonly treasure it's brought me Cmain't nothing but fool's gold
I'm Fmtired of living in darkness Abmining for false hope
