[D] [E]
[A]
Is there ever enough space between us to keep us both honest [E] 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 blues [A] when I got some good [E] news and you're not there to bring [A] it to
Life is a blessing.
It's a delicatessen of all the little favors [E] you do
All wrapped up together no matter the weather, baby, I always [A] 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 [E] and bring these little [A] things to you because you [D] got gold
You [A]
got [D] [A] [D]

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