Dire Straits - Love Over Gold

A# C Am Dm C | A# C Am Dm C | A# C Gm Dm | A# C A# C

F A# C
there you walk out on the high wire
A# F A#
you’re dancer on thin ice
F A# C
you pay no heed to the danger
Am Dm C
and less to advice
F A# C
your footsteps are forbidden
Am A# C
but with knowledge of your sin
F A# F A#
you throw your love to all the strangers
Dm
and the caution to the wind

A G | G F | D# D | D# D | D# D | D# D C A# | A

F A# C
and you go dancing through the doorways
A# F A#
just to see what you gonna find there
F A# C
leaving nothing to interfere
Am Dm C
with the crazy balance of your mind
F A# C
and when you finally reappear
Am A# C
at the place where you came in
F A# F A#
you’ve thrown your love to all the strangers
Dm
and the caution to the wind

A G | G F | D# D | D# D | D# D | D# D C A# | A

C
it takes love over gold
F A#
and mind over matter
C A# Dm
to do what you do that you must
C
when the things that you hold
D#
can fall and be shattered
Dm
or run through your fingers like dust
