Now if A/Dall my golden Dmoments could be C/Frolled into one
they would Dshine just like the A/Dsun on a C/Dsummer day
   D       G      Em7   A7sus4A#dim7                  Bm  C/D  
And after it was over    we could have it back again

          G      Em7   A7sus4A#dim7                        Bm  Csus2  
And all it really needed         was the proper point of view
                     C/F     A/D                      C/F  C/D
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now
Now I gA/Dathered up my Dsorrows and I C/Fsold them all for gold
and I Dgathered up the A/Dgold and I C/Dthrew it all awayD  
  D          G     Em7   A7sus4A#dim7                 Bm   C/D  D  
It all went for a good time and a song, come on

No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone
You may tA/Dhink I might be Dcrazy and I C/Fguess you might be right
but I Dknow the way I A/Dfeel today is C/Dout of sight
