VERSE I
    Em                                                  Am
You smile at the rain while counting your change that's what you do
       Em                                         Am
Take a walk in the town that saw you drown that's what you do
G               Am
Chance come and make me
      G                   Am 
Cause These times are for taking 


CHORUS
C        G      Am
Gold and silver all that you've got
F               Dm                  G
Dance before me in a glass, was the closest that I ever got
C       G        Am
Rubies, diamonds all that you've got
F             Dm                 Am      C Am    
Crawling over broken glass won't get you love


VERSE II
    Em                                     Am
The lights are erased get out of my way so much to do
        Em                                      Am
And the bills that you pay are here to stay one more for you
G             Am
Love please believe me
G                   Am
These times are for taking 


CHORUS
C        G      Am
Gold and silver all that you've got
F               Dm                  G
Dance before me in a glass, was the closest that I ever got
C       G        Am
Rubies, diamonds all that you've got
     F             Dm                 Am      C Am                C Am
Just crawling over broken glass won't get you love, won't buy you love

BRIDGE

Em Am Em Am X2

G         C            G
Brass and tin for your sins, that's you


VERSE III
Em                                 Am 
Messages come messages sent that's what you do
       Em                                      Am
You're looking so tired hired and fired that's what you do
G               Am
Breath don't forsake me
            G             Am
Cause these times are for taking


CHORUS
C        G      Am
Gold and silver all that you've got
F               Dm                  G
Dance before me in a glass, was the closest that I ever got
C       G        Am
Rubies, diamonds all that you've got
     F             Dm                 Am      C Am                C Am
Just crawling over broken glass won't get you love, won't buy you love
              C Am
Can't buy you love
