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.

Verse.

E         A       C#m
   She's alone tonight
         A          E
With the bitter cup and
       A       C#m
She's undone tonight
         A
She's all used up


Pre - Chorus.
           F#m     G#m      A
She's been staring down the demons
B           F#m       G#m        A        B          C#m
Who've been screaming she's just another so and so
A              B
Another so and so



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


Verse
E         A         C#m         A
There's a fear that burns like trash inside
E         A         C#m              A
And you're ashamed of the curse that burns your eyes


Pre- chorus

            F#m    G#m    A  B
You've been hiding in the bedroom

       F#m        G#m     A     B      C#m
Hoping this isn't how the story has to go,
A                       B
it's not the way it goes

It's your book now



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


Bridge
C#m                A
   You're a lonely soul
A
In the land of broken hearts
C#m           A        B
And far from home is a perfect place to start

La - la -la -la

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
