[Verse]
     Em7      Em
The story is told of the

 Em7      Em
Power of gold

         Em7         Em     C     D
And it's lure on the unsuspecting

    Em7          Em
It glitters and shines

   Em7         Em
It badgers and blinds

    Em7        Em      C       D
And constantly needs protecting
[Chorus]
 B7                        Em B7  Em
Balance the cost of the soul you lost

 Em                   D      Cmaj7
With the dreams you lightly sold

D   C   D  Em
Are you under

     B7       Em7
The power of gold?
[Verse]
      Em7        Em
The letters and calls

          Em7         Em
Got you climbing the walls

   Em7      Em      C   D
An everyone needs a favor

     Em7     Em
They beg to remind you

   Em7         Em
Of times left behind you

        Em7      Em        C   D
But you know the past is a loser
[Chorus]
     B7                     Em    B7 Em
The face you're wearing is different now

        Cmaj7    D       Cmaj7
And the days run hot and cold

D   C   D  Em
Are you under

B7           E7  Em
The power of gold?
[Verse]
B7        Em7        Em
You're a creature of habit

  Em7       Em
Run like a rabbit

 Em7         Em            C  D
Scared of a fear you can't name

     Em7      Em
Your own paranoia

    Em7           Em
Is looming before you

     Em7      Em
But nobody thinks that

       C   D
It's a game
[Chorus]
 B7                      Em  B7  Em
Balance the cost of the soul you lost

 Em7      Em         D      Cmaj7
With the dreams you lightly sold

     D    D
Then tell me

      D      Em
That you're free

B7                Em7  Em
Of the power of gold
[End and fade]
D    Em7
The women are lovely

     Em      Em7
The wine is superb

               C
But there's something about the song

 D     Em      Em7
That disturbs you...
