Am
This time her mind is made up
F
Yeah, she's moving on
Am
Tonight her spirit's crushed
F
It's 'cause she don't belong
C
Maybe she thinks too much
G
She thinks she's given enough
   F                                        Am
Only now they'll know she's got a heart of gold

Am
Always looking for love
F
She's beginning to think she's cursed
Am
On her looks she judged
F
By the folks at work
C
She don't care for fashion and fame
G
Those kind of people they are all the same
     F                                      Am
One day they'll know, she's got a heart of gold

Chorus:
              F                     G
And she sings, I want to know what love is
                E/G#               Am
But it seems to come with so much pain
F                    G
If no one wants to show me
         E7              Am
It seems easier just to run away
F         Dm7/A             E            Am
When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul
             F   G                  Am
But God he knows, I got a heart of gold

Been coming 'round here
Since she's a little girl
But now the change is clear
We live in a cynical world
She don't care for fashion and fame
Those kind of people they are all the same
They don't wanna know, she's got a heart of gold

Chorus

F           C                 E
To see her footsteps in the snow

Chorus
