Strum
D-DU-UDU
She's  alone  tonight,
 With a bitter  cup and,
She's  undone  tonight,
 She's all used  up,
 She's been staring down  the demons,
 Who've been screaming  she's just  another so  and so,
 Another so and  so
 You are golden,
 You are golden,  Child
 You are golden,
 Don't let go
 Don't  let go tonight
 There's a fear that burns like trash inside
 And your shame, the curse that burns your eyes
 You'v been hiding in the bedroom,
 Hoping this isn't how the story has to go
 It's not the way it goes, it's your book now
You're  a lonely soul,  in a wreck of broken hearts
 You're far from home,  is a perfect  place to start
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la  (repeat)
So  this final  verse  is a contradiction
 And the more  we learn, the  less we know
 We've been talking  about  a feeling
 We both know  inside  but couldn't  find  the words
 I couldn't  write this  verse
 I've seldom  been so sure
 About anything  before

[Dsus4]She's alo[G]ne tonight[Bm],
With a bitt[G]er cup and,
[Dsus4]She's und[G]one tonigh[Bm]t,
She's all used[G] up,

She's been [Em7]staring [D/F#]down the d[G]emons,
Who've been s[Em7]creaming she's j[D/F#]ust ano[G]ther [Asus4]so and so[Bm],
Another so [Asus4]and so   [A]

You are g[D]olden,[D/F#]
You are [G]golden, Ch[Asus4]ild
You are g[D]olden,[D/F#]
Don't let [G]go
Don't[Asus4] let go tonight [Dsus4]

There's a fear that burns like trash inside
And your shame, the curse that burns your eyes
You'v been hiding in the bedroom,
Hoping this isn't how the story has to go
It's not the way it goes, it's your book now

[Bm]You're a lonely s[G]oul, in a wreck of broken [Bm]hearts
You're far from [G]home, is a [Asus4]perfect place to star[Dsus4]t
[Dsus4]        L[D/F#]a-la-la-la[G]-la-la-[A]la      (repeat)

[Dsus4]So this f[G]inal ve[Bm]rse is a c[G]ontradiction [Dsus4]
And the mo[G]re we learn, [Bm]the less we [G]know
We've been t[Em7]alking ab[D/F#]out a fe[G]eling
We both [Em7]know ins[D/F#]ide but cou[G]ldn't fin[Asus4]d the words[Bm]
I cou[G]ldn't write th[Bm]is verse
I've [G]seldom been so sure     [Asus4]
About anyt[A]hing before
