Capo 1

[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.
