 E      D       A
Golden light streamin' from your eyes
 Am                     G
Give me a piece of the real thing
       B7
And I live with you this life
   E            D      A
Stripped and clean, a restless wolverine
   Am                     G
An eloquent part of the whole dance
         B7
And I stray

 F                        Am
Tell the whole world to slow down
    D#                   Gm
We gotta get off and we gotta go 'round
 F                       Am
Tell the whole world to roll down
     D#                  A
The window is broken, forever unspoken
A
Only whenever

Chorus:
Dm      F            Dm    F
Oh, I know that it's only gold
       Dm               F
And I come slow now for everything
  D#   A#  F C
The heavy wing
Dm      F           Dm     F
Oh, I know that it's only gold
        Dm              F
And I bleed into your pleasantries
  D# A#
The memory
   F C
Chemistry

Death to rise
Subtraction of advice
The criminal ties of my rival
And I'll roll these dice
Cold supply
Scraping to get by
Blatantly flooding the low rise
And I'll throw this knife

Trace me now through your innocence
Tell me it's part of the program I started
Space me now through your citizens
Tell me it's part of the whole plan now
Bringing my slow hand

Chorus - x2
