Am                    G       F
Hear me now, it's my time to talk
      Am                   G        F
I'm throwing out these 2 years of thoughts
  Dm
Freeze and take a deep breath
      C                                 G
I'll lay my heart out helpless on the floor

Tears crash down, your face, not mine
Screaming out, how I changed through time
I know it’s hard to leave it
To say we've been defeated

    G                       E
But everything around has changed
My my
We had

Chorus:
F
Gold dust
Am
Gold dust
C
Gold dust
F
(No more)
Tear drops!
Tear drops!
Tear drops!

Memories, without fortune or fame
Endlessly, through the night and through the day
They make hard times seem easy
Dark days seem so pleasing

But everything around me has changed
My my
We had

Chorus

         F
And I'm so sorry darling
       Am
When I wake you're just gonna leave
             C
And I don't want you to be lonely
           F
'Cause I know you'll find your love again

And I promise I’ll stop calling
If it makes it easy for you
I'm about to see you leaving
But it's for the best, believe, my friend

Chorus - x3
