D      G

[Verse 1]
 G                                                               D
Is there ever enough space between us to keep us both honest and true
    D7                                                            G
why is it so hard to just sit in the yard and stare at the sky so blue
           G
I've got a new way of walking and a new way of talking
G7                    C
Honey when I'm around you
                                    G
But it gives me the blues when I've got some good news
      D                           G
And you're not there to bring it to

[Verse 2]
G                                                                   D
Life is a blessin' it's a delicatessen of all the little favors you do
    D7
All wrapped up together, no matter the weather
                     G
Baby you always come through
       G
It's a measure of treasure that gives me the pleasure
   G7                   C
Of loving you the way I do
                                  G
And you know I would gladly say I need your love badly
      D                           G
And bring these little things to you

[Chorus]
                C                  G
Cause you got gold, gold inside of you
          C                  G
You got gold, gold inside of you
            D                  G
Well I got some gold inside me too

[Verse 3]
         G
Well I'm thinkin I'm knowin that I gotta be goin
                            D
You know I hate to say so long
   D7                                                                  G
It gives me an ocean of mixed up emotion I'll have to work it out in a song
         G
Well I'm leavin' a life oh the little I got
        G7                        C
But you know a lot of little will do
                                          G
And if you give me your love I'll let it shine up above
      D                        G
And light my way back home to you

[Chorus]
                C                  G
Cause you got gold, gold inside of you
          C                  G
You got gold, gold inside of you
            D                  G
Well I got some gold inside me too
        C                        G
You got wheels turning inside of you
        C                        G
You got wheels turning inside of yo,
           D                        G
Well I got wheels turning inside me too
