         A#m
Am I to fight?
   G#              Fm          F#
Oh-oh, by the way they look at me
           A#m
Will I be tried?
   G#             Fm           F#
Oh-oh, will they take what I believe?

                A#m                 G#
I shiver on the one, I breathe for two
                    Fm                F#
I give you what you want, I bend the truth
                   A#m               G#
And everything's aflame, it's all aglow
            Fm               F#
I know that I can play that game,
I'll fool them all

Chorus:
A#m   Fm F#      C#    G#
Oooh  oh oh ooh, like gold, let it lead me astray
A#m   Fm F#      C#   G#
Oooh  oh oh ooh, like gold, let it take me away
A#m           Fm  F#              C#   G#
And if I turn my back and I leave it all
G#
I'll be running fast, cause I can't be owned
A#m   Fm F#       C#   G#
Oooh  oh oh ooh, like gold

Do I belong?
Oh, I see it start to fade
Teach them a song, oh
Now I feel I've been betrayed

I shiver on a one, I breathe for two
I give you what you want
I bend the truth
And everything's aflame, it's all aglow
I know that I can play that game

Chorus

                F#
Everything is brighter now
A#m                 G#
It shimmers like a stone
                  F#
And everything surrounds you now
A#m               G#
It's you and you alone

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, like gold
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, like gold
And if I turn my back and I leave it all
And I'll be running fast, 'cause I can't be owned
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, like gold

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, like gold)
I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
And I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, like gold)
And I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
And I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
