The Stanfields - Streets Of Gold

      [Intro]
G


[Verse 1]
    G
Hey you with the world on your shoulders
                       C
Do you find it hard to deal
                  G
With growing expectations
      G           G/F#  Em
And a vision that isn’t real?
        G
Are you tired of looking in the mirror
              C
To only see a ghost
                         G             Em
For a day in the sun the person you’ve become
       G          D        C
Is the person you hate the most


[Chorus]
    C                   G
You walk the streets of gold
        D                 Em
But the living bleeds you dry
   C              G
It casts you in a hole
      D            C
Where dreams go to die
      B7           G
Where dreams go to die


[Interlude]

G  Am D G


[Verse 2]
    G
Hey you with the stars in your eyes
                       C
Do you find it hard to sleep
                                G
When your plans aren’t coming together
          G        G/F#      Em
‘Cause of promises you can’t keep
    G
The promise of another revolution
                     C
The pride before the fall
                                 G                 Em
You stuck up for the masses; you stood up for your friends
    G       D         C
But now you hate them all


[Chorus]
    C                   G
You walk the streets of gold
        D                 Em
But the living bleeds you dry
   C              G
It casts you in a hole
      D            C
Where dreams go to die
      B7           G
Where dreams go to die


[Interlude]

G      Em

G  Am  D  G


[Bridge]
Em              G/F#             G
“Don’t let your doubts pull your strings”
C                 G                          D
“Nothing lasts forever” said the victim in denial
Em           G/F#               G
“Sure as the thought of failure stings”
C                 G                             D
“Nothing lasts forever when you’re dead upon arrival”
