[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Oh, the night is growing colder, C G And the stars have lost their shine. G And I have been forsaken, D By everything I thought was mine. G D G For in the darkest hour, C When the final story's told G No matter how bright I glittered, baby, D G I could never be gold.
[Verse 2]
G You gave up your finest treasure, C For the one you saw in me. G But how could I know the measure, D Of all you needed me to be. G D G Though I came with sweet intentions, C More my pockets could not hold. G No matter how bright I glittered, baby, D G I could never be gold.
[Verse 3]
C I finally gave up counting, G The ways you said I let you down. C G When I fell into that river of no return, D And you watched me drown. G D G Oh I could sparkle like a diamond, C Have silver line my soul. G No matter how bright I glittered, baby, D G D G I could never be gold.
[Instrumental]
C G D G x2
[Verse 3]
C You looked so high and low for heaven, G I tried so hard to show the way. C But though I flew on wings of angels, G D My feet were always made of clay. G D G I could come trailing clouds of glory, C But you saw nothing to behold. G No matter how bright I glittered, baby, D G I could never be gold.
[Outro]
C G No matter how bright I glittered, baby, D G I could never be gold.
