We [Eb] never meant to stay [Ab] here, we were here for the [Eb] gold, here for the gold, here [Ab] for the gold.
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab]
[C]
[Em] We got stuck here for the [C] winter,
[Em] blinded by gold and [C] dollar signs.
[Em] [G] We built some simple
[C] structures,
[Em] temporary not [C] for them.
[Em]
Each year we dug much [C] deeper,
[G] each year things got [C] more serious.
[Em]
Each year our hearts grew [C] weaker,
[Em] [G] blinded by gold and [Ab] dollar signs.
We [Eb] never meant to stay [Ab] here, we were here for the [Eb] gold, here for the gold, here [Ab] for the gold.
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] I've got a loaf of coal in my [Bb] hand, squeeze just as tight as I [Cm] can.
Hope for a brand new diamond, [Eb]
I know it's slight but it's all I [Ab] care.
I promise honey that we get [Bb] paid, we'll pack our things and move [Cm] away.
A thousand miles, frozen [Eb]
lane, [Eb] we'll find a place where we both can [Ab] stay.
We'll find a city with a million
[Bb] people, find an apartment where the rent is [Cm] real low.
We'll disappear and no one will [Eb] notice, how about a song we could both look down [Ab] on.
We [Eb] never meant to stay [Ab] here, we were here for the [Eb] gold, here for the gold, here [Ab] for the gold.
We never [Eb] meant to stay here, [Ab] we were here for the [Eb] gold, here for the gold, here for [Ab] the gold.
We never [Bb] meant to stay here, [Cm] we were here for the [Eb] gold, here for the gold, here [Ab] for the gold.
We never [Bb] meant to stay here, [Cm] we're just dumb animals [Eb] without claws in the [Ab] hole.
As we grow, now we're stuck [Bb] in a small town.
[Cm] I'm the shield [Eb] and lots of steel, [Ab] I'll float, break up at dawn [Bb] and kiss all the wires in the forehead.
[Cm] Slowly make [Eb] our way to the end where we [Ab] will forget, the faces [Bb] of our children.
[Cm] I'll put you together, [Eb] you can't do all I have [Ab] to share.
We [Eb] never meant to stay here, [Ab] no, we never [Eb] meant to stay [Ab] here.
We [Eb] never meant to stay [Ab] here, no, we never meant to stay here.
