G                D
Stand on up and take a bow
A                                  Bm
There is something there and it's showing
G                    D
There is no need to look around
A                        Bm
You're the best we got going

Shout out to the dreams you'll chase
Shout out to the hearts you'll break
Nothing's gonna stop you now
I guess you'd better be going

                 G                    D
You'll never be far, I'm keeping you near
              A             Bm
Inside of my heart, you're here
   G                  D
Go on, It's gonna be time
                     A
You're starting to shine
        Bm
'cause what you've got is

Chorus:
G      D
Go-o-o-o-o-old
A     Bm
I know, you're gold
G      D
Go-o-o-o-o-old
A     Bm
I know, I know
G                    D           A
I don't need these stars in the night
  Bm
I found my treasure
G              D         A
All I need is you by my side
    Bm
So shine forever
Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-old
I know you're gold
O-o-o-o o-o o-oh oh
I know you're gold

It won't take you long to get
When you feel like you're soaring
So write it all and don't forget
You gotta tell us your story

Shout out to the friends back home
Shout out to the hearts you've known
You gave 'em nothing but the best, yeah
And you can tell 'em your story

You'll never be far, I'm keeping you near
Inside of my heart, you're here
Go on
It's gotta be time
You're starting to shine
'Cause what you've got is

Chorus

'Cause what you have got is

Chorus:
Go-o-o-o o-o o-o-old
I know you're gold
O-o-o-o o-o o-oh oh
I know I know
I don't need stars in the night
I've found my treasure
All I need is you by my side
So shine forever
Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-old
I know you're gold
O-o-o-o o-o o-oh oh
I know you're gold

You're gold
You're gold
