Golden chords by Switchfoot

Tuning: EADGBE

Here is my interpretation of how the guys played Golden
when they performed it live for the first time recently.
(Note: to play as if it were on the record "Nothing Is Sound"
just put a Capo on 1st fret!) The chords with a * after them are what I believe Jon
Foreman is playing in the live performance.

E     A    C#m

She's undone tonight
     A
She's all used up

      F#m   G#m   A
She's been staring down the demons

Another so and so

Verse
E     A     C#m     A

E    A   C#m    A
So this final verse is a contradiction
E    A    C#m   A
And the more we learn, the less we know



Pre-chorus

      F#m   G#m  A B      F#m G#m
We've been talking 'bout a feeling we both know inside
  A   B      C#m
but couldn't find the words
 A          C#m
I couldn't write this verse
   A       B
I've never been so sure 'bout anything before

Chorus.
   E     G#m
You are goooooooooolden
    A   B
You are golden child
    E     G#m
You are goooooooooolden
     A     B
Don't let go, don't let go tonight
