where there’s gold – dashboard confessional

intro : F# B9 D#m7 G#

F#
step on the stage

B9
the lights the praise

D#m7
the curtain calls

G#
and the big parade

F# B9 D#m7 G#
you know that life all too well

F#
the promise the pain

B9
the valor the rage

D#m7
hold up your hands

G#
for the bow and the wave

F#
you know his touch

B9 D#m7 G#
a little too well

D#m7
you throw yourself

C#/F
into their arms

F# B9
mistresses have all the fun

D#m7 C#/F F#
but no one’s ever there to take you home

F#
box up your gloves and your

B9
down coats

D#m7
bound for the sun and the

G#
west coast

F# B9 D#m7 G#
where upper crust tragedies abound

F#
a tip for the girl at the

B9
coat check

D#m7
the guy at the door and the

G#
bar back

F#
they know your face

B9 D#m7 G#
oh so well

D#m7 C#/F
but movies never made you famous

F# B9
all your dreams got lost or traded

D#m7 C#/F F# B9
and all you ever cared about got lost

D#m7 C#/F
but you were surely still an actress

F# B9
older men would find attractive

D#m7 C#/F F# B9
and all you ever cared about got lost

F# B9

D#m7 G#
where there’s gold , there’s a gold digger

F#
you throw yourself

B9
into their arms

D#m7 G#
mistresses have all the fun

F# B9 D#m7 G#
but no one’s ever there to take you home
