Oh, the golden lanterns glow
A                     G          D
Casting shadows on your grand abode
A      D
Sculptures line the marble floor
     A              G             D
Like silent guards behind closed doors
                     A
But when the party winds down
            D
And echoes fade through the town
                         A
Will those bright, fleeting friends

Stay when the magic ends
          G              D
Of your golden lanterns' light?

             G
We never walked the same path
             D
Through the lives we used to know
                  A
Now its clear as day
                   A7
That a heart like mine
               D
Just doesnt belong in your world
                  G
So you chose the glittering stage
                 D
Over the love I gave
                 E
And turned your back
                 A
On the bond we once had
D
Oh, the golden lanterns glow
         A          G           D
Casting shadows on your grand abode

Sculptures line the marble floor
     A              G              D
Like silent guards behind closed doors
                    A
But when the music dies

And the spotlight flies
             D
Will anyone see
             A
The weight behind your smile
D
When the show is through?
D                  Bm
I see your name in headlines
                        F#m
Living large, they all agree
                        G
The toast of every scene
           A                  D
Just like the world imagined youd be
               A
But a painted sky

Cant hide the night
            Bm
It dims with time
                          G
And the truth you left behind
                             A
Might find its way back to you
D
Oh, the golden lanterns glow
   A                 G           D
Casting shadows on your grand abode

Sculptures line the marble floor
         A          G       D
Like silent guards behind closed doors
                   A
But when the dawn breaks clear
                 Bm
And illusions disappear
     A
Will someone stay near
A                 D            A  Bm
When the golden light fades?  HUMMMMMM
          G      D
When the golden light fades?
