[N] [E]
[A]
Is there ever enough space between us to keep us both [E] honest and true?
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 news and you're not there to bring it to.
Life is a blessing, it's a delicatessen of all the little [E] favors to do.
All wrapped up together, no matter the weather, baby, you [A] always come through.
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 badly and bring these little things to you.
Cause you [D] got gold, gold inside of [A] you.
You [D] got gold, gold inside [A] of you.
Well, I [E] got some gold inside [A] me.

Boy, I'm thinking I'm knowing that I gotta be going.
You know I hate to say so long.
[E]
It gives me an ocean of mixed up emotions.
I'll have to work it [A] out in a song.
Well, I'm leaving a lot for the little I got.
You know a lot of [D] little will do.
And if you give me your love, [A] I'll let it shine up above and light my way back home.
Cause you [D] got gold, gold inside [A] of you.
You [D] got gold, gold inside [A] of you.
Well, I got [E] some gold inside [A] me.
You [D] got wheels turning inside [A] of you.
You [D] got wheels turning inside [A] of you.
Well, [E] I got wheels turning inside me.
