Ruth B - Golden

[intro] x2
Eb  Gm  Bb

[verse]
     Eb            Gm
The fire used to burn,
         Bb/D            Bb
all the words used to hurt
                Eb
But you're not like us,
          Gm
you are different
            Bb/D                   Bb
I couldn't see that that was a compliment
           Eb                 Gm
Cause the last thing I want now is to be
 Bb/D    Bb
you
          Eb               Gm
And the flames don't feel as hot as they
      Bb/D    Bb
use to

[pre-chorus]
  Eb       Gm
Burn, burn, burn
              Bb/D    Bb
They used to yell
                   Eb
You thought I was coal
         Gm
My friend, I'm gold
            Bb/D     Bb
Can't you tell?
  Eb    Gm
Burn, burn, burn
              Bb/D     Bb
They used to yell
                   Eb
You thought I was coal
                Gm
My friend, I'm gold
            Bb/D     Bb
Can't you tell?

[chorus]
               Eb              Gm
Cause I'm not weak, I'm not broken I am
 Bb/D    Bb
bold
         Eb                 Gm
And the fire you put me through
                Bb/D    Bb
turned me into gold
         Eb             Gm
I'm not done, I'm no loser
          Bb/D            Bb
Watch me take on my bright future
    Eb                        Gm
Tonight I'm no bronze I'm no silver
            Bb/D             Bb
You'll be thinking, damn I knew her
         Eb        Gm
But you didn't
              Bb/D      Bb
Don't get it twisted
Eb                   Gm
Out of the ashes you buried me in
Bb        Eb   Gm  Bb
I, I am golden
         Eb   Gm  Bb
I, I am golden

[verse]
      Eb          Gm              Bb/D    Bb
You tried so hard to break me down
               Eb
Like a fire-breathing dragon,
Gm                         Bb/D    Bb
 but I guess I took your crown
     Eb                 Gm           Bb/D
You pushed for me to change for you
Bb
  But I'm so glad that
Eb         Gm           Bb/D    Bb
I stayed true to who I am

[pre-chorus]
  Eb        Gm
Burn, burn, burn
              Bb/D    Bb
They used to yell
                   Eb
You thought I was coal
          Gm
My friend, I'm gold
            Bb/D     Bb
Can't you tell?
  Eb        Gm
Burn, burn, burn
              Bb/D     Bb
They used to yell
                   Eb
You thought I was coal
                Gm
My friend, I'm gold
            Bb/D     Bb
Can't you tell?

[chorus]
               Eb
Cause I'm not weak,
           Gm        Bb/D    Bb
I'm not broken I am bold
         Eb                 Gm
And the fire you put me through
                Bb/D    Bb
turned me into gold
         Eb             Gm
I'm not done, I'm no loser
          Bb/D             Bb
Watch me take on my bright future
    Eb                        Gm
Tonight I'm no bronze I'm no silver
            Bb/D             Bb
You'll be thinking, damn I knew her
         Eb        Gm
But you didn't
              Bb/D      Bb
Don't get it twisted

I, I am golden
         Eb   Gm  Bb
I, I am golden

[verse]
      Eb                     Gm
The fire that you tried to burn me with,
    Bb
it made me who I am
          Eb                     Gm
All the things that you said I couldn't do
 Bb/D              Bb
Guess what, Yes I can
      Eb                     Gm
The fire that you tried to burn me with,
    Bb/D            Bb
it made me who I am
