[E]
[A]
Is there ever enough space between us to keep us moving on [E] this long trip?
Why is it so hard just to sit in the yard and stare at the sky [A] so blue?
I got a new way of walking and a new way of talking, honey, when I'm [D] around you.
But it gives me the [A] blues when I got some good [E] news and you're not there to bring [A] it to.
Life is a blessing, it's a delicate death of all the little favors it is.
[E] All wrapped up together, no matter the weather, baby, you [A] always come through.
But it's a measure of treasure that gives me the pleasure of loving you the way [D] I do.
And you know I would gladly [A] say I need your love [E] badly and bring these little [A] things to you.
Because you [D] got gold.
[A] Gold inside of you.
You [D] got gold.
[C#m] Gold inside [A] of you.
Well, I [E] got some gold inside [A] me.

Well, I'm thinking I'm knowing that I gotta be going.
You know I hate to stay [E] so long.
It gets me in a wash of mixed up emotions.
I'll have to work it out [A] in a song.
Well, I'm leaving a lot for the little I got.
Well, you know a lot of little [D] will do.
And if you give me your love, [A] I'll let it shine up above.
[E] And life will wait back [A] home.
Because you [D] got gold.
Gold inside [A] of you.
You [D] got gold.
Gold inside [A] of you.
Well, I [E] got some gold inside [A] me.
You [D] got wheels turning inside [A] of you.
You [D] got wheels turning inside [A] of you.
Well, I [E] got wheels turning inside [A] me.
