[Verse 1]
Dm
I chased a lot of rainbows
Bb
Down a lot of roads
Gm A
Thinking love was something
Dm
To be bought or sold
[Verse 2]
Bb C F
But I finally found a treasure
Bb Gm
And it's right here in your eyes
Dm Bb
Now my golden dreams are of golden rings
F A
Precious love without a price
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm going for the gold
C
For the heart that's in you
Bb
I'm going for the love
Gm A
That I know will be true
Dm
I've had enough
C
Of those one night stands
Bb C F A
I'm going for the gold that's in a wedding band
[Verse 3]
Dm
I followed those illusions
Bb
That sparkled in the night
Gm A
But they were fantasies
Dm
That disappeared in the light
[Verse 4]
Bb C F
The midnight fires that burned so bright
Bb Gm
Turn to ashes in the dawn
Dm Bb
I didn't realize how empty I was inside
F A
Until you came along
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm going for the gold
C
For the heart that's in you
Bb
I'm going for the love
Gm A
That I know will be true
Dm
I've had enough
C
Of those one night stands
Bb C F
I'm going for the gold that's in a wedding band
[Solo]
Dm Bb Gm A
Dm Bb A
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm going for the gold
C
For the heart that's in you
Bb
I'm going for the love
Gm A
That I know will be true
Dm
I've had enough
C
Of those one night stands
Bb C F
I'm going for the gold that's in a wedding band
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm going for the gold
C
For the heart that's in you
Bb
I'm going for the love
Gm A
That I know will be true
Dm
I've had enough
C
Of those one night stands
Bb C F
I'm going for the gold that's in a wedding band
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm going for the gold
C
For the heart that's in you
Bb
I'm going for the love
Gm A
That I know will be true
Dm
I've had enough
C
Of those one night stands
Bb C F
I'm going for the gold that's in a wedding band
