Dm7                           Am7
Real love is the only way to start
Dm7                       Am7
Illuminate the shadows of my heart
     Dm7                    Am7
The city is the only place to go
    Dm7                        Am7
But we can take it fast or take it slow

Am7 G#dim Gm7              Am7
When  we  move across the floor
        Gm7        C
We are golden for sure

Chorus:
              F                   Dm7
We live in a world, rich and the poor
            Gm7                C
People are crying, we can’t ignore
                   F
But here in this place
             Dm7
We have the moment
             Gm7              A#             C
It feels so good to be understood and to be golden

Gm7     A#
Shine, shine
C
Can you dig it, can you dig it?
Dm7   Am7 Dm7 Am7
Golden

I know your life is heavy like the rain
But that don't mean you have to be ashamed
Take a step back and watch the garden grow
Let me show you that you're not alone

When we move across the floor
We are golden for sure

Chorus

Gm7     A#
Shine, shine
C
Can you dig it, can you dig it?
Can you dig it, can you dig it?
Can you dig it, can you dig it?
