Golden Child chords by Meghan Patrick

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: D#b


♫ Intro:

A#m F# C#  A#m F# C#


♫ Verse 1:
A#m     F#       C#
If I could send a letter back in time
A#m     F#     C#
To younger me in her wilder days
A#m  F#        C#
A# daydreamer with her head in the sky
  D#m7         F#
And always learning the hard way

♫ Verse 2:
A#m7     F#        C#
I bet she'd think she knows better than me
A#m7       F#      C#
But that's just part of her charm
A#m7   F#         C#
Nah, you couldn't tell her anything
    D#m7           F#
Nothing stubborn as her and her heart
    D#m7                  F#
But I'd tell her while you're reaching for the stars


♫ Chorus:
G#            A#m
Just be careful what you wish for honey
  F#            C#
You never know it might come true
G#            A#m
Don't be tempted by the easy money
  F#              C#
It might cost more than you're willing to lose
G#               A#m7
The same thing that takes the edge off
        F#         C#
It can take the shine off after a while
G#              A#m7
So wear your diamonds on the inside
    F#                     A#m F# C#  A#m F# C#
'Cause everything that glitters ain't golden, child


♫ Verse 3:
A#m7      F#        C#
They're gonna love you for the things you do
A#m7     F#    C#
But not for who you are
A#m7     F#        C#
So don't go trading in your ride or dies
    D#m7          F#
For the cool kids down at the bar
A#m7      F#       C#
The time will come when you fall in lust
A#m7    F#     C#
And it'll look like love
A#m7   F#        C#
Until it knocks you right down in the dust
  D#m7            F#
But know that you'll get back up
   D#m             F#
Yeah, know that you're more than enough


♫ Chorus:
G#            A#m
Just be careful what you wish for honey
  F#            C#
You never know it might come true
G#            A#m
Don't be tempted by the easy money
  F#              C#
It might cost more than you're willing to lose
G#               A#m7
The same thing that takes the edge off
        F#         C#
It can take the shine off after a while
G#              A#m7
So wear your diamonds on the inside
    F#                     A#m F# C#  A#m F# C#
'Cause everything that glitters ain't golden, child


♫ Chorus:

Just be careful what you wish for honey
  F#            C#
You never know it might come true

Don't be tempted by the easy money
  F#              C#
It might cost more than you're willing to lose
G#               A#m7
The same thing that takes the edge off
        F#         C#
It can take the shine off after a while
G#              A#m7
So wear your diamonds on the inside
    F#
'Cause everything that glitters ain't golden, child
                C#     A#m F# C#  A#m F# C#
Everything that glitters ain't golden, child


♫ Outro:
A#m     F#       C#
If I could send a letter back in time
A#m     F#     C#
To younger me in her wilder days
A#m     F#        C#
I'd let her know that she's doing just fine
  A#m      F#    C#
And everything's gonna be okay
