Chords

Guitar & bass comes in when drums start [Intro] B G A B G A [Verse 1]
B
Where do you stand

B
What is your statement

B                              G A
What is it you're trying to say

B
What's in your hand

B
What's in your basement

B                               G  A
What's in the cards you don't play
[Bridge]
D                          G
Are you holding the key

Em              A
Or are you intending

      D                G               A
To pick the lock of heaven's gate

B                   G
It's confusing to me

Em                      A
The message you're sending

        D                       G          A
And I don't know if I can relate
[Chorus]
B
What's you line

                                        E
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold

B
State of mind

                                   E
Or does it find a way into your soul
[Interlude] B G A [Verse 2]
B
Is it a flame

B
Is it a passion

B                            G  A
A symbol of love living in you

B
Or is it a game

B
Religion in fashion

B                                G            A
Some kind of phase you're going through
[Bridge]
            D         G
We all travel the extremes

           E              A
From cellar to rafter

 D                 G                   A
Looking for a place in the sun

            B              G
So I'm trying to see

           E                      A
What you're headed after

       D                            G                       A
But I don't know where you're coming from
[Chorus]
B
What's you line

                                        E
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold

B
State of mind

                                   E
Or does it find a way into your soul

B
What's you line

                                        E
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
[Bridge 2]
B                               A

B G A E

……………. Tell me ….. why ………….
B G A B G A G A [Verse 3]
                  D                G
For some it's simply something

     E
to wear around your neck

A
Just a chain

D
Jewellery

G        E
Is it decoration

A
Is it an icon

       B
Or proclamation

G
An icon of what

E
What

                                   D           G
For some … for some it's simply something

E                               A
to wear around your neck

A
Just a chain

A
It means a lot more than that to me
[Chorus]
B
What's you line

                                        E
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold

B
State of mind

                                   E
Or does it find a way into your soul

B
What's you line

                                        E
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold

B
State of mind

                                   E
Or does it find a way into your soul
