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 glitter baby D G I could never be gold G You gave up your finest treasures C G 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 glitter baby D G I could never be gold C F C I finally gave up counting G The ways you said I let you down C F C G When I fell into that river of no return D And you watched me drown G D G Oh I can sparkle like a diamond C Have silver line my soul G No matter how bright I glitter baby D G I could never be gold You look so high and low for heaven I tried so hard to show the way But though I flew on wings of angels My feet were always made of clay I could come trailing clouds of glory But you saw nothing to behold No matter how bright I glitter baby I could never be gold No matter how bright I glitter baby I could never be gold Thanks to Chaya for tabs
