Benjamin Tod - Tears Worth The Gold

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
C Am C F C Am C Am C

[Verse 1]
C Am
No one knows the kind of weight we both choose
C Am
A thousand miles to smile and try to stay in tune
C F Am C G F
But the fame we made has no escape and it tears our marriage in two
C Am
Try and stay thankful for it all
F G C
Salvage what is left when the curtain falls

[Chorus]
C F C
I don’t want a life without you
F Dm C Am C Am C
Are the tears worth the gold if we don’t make it through

[Verse 2]
C Am C
We go on in ten but we ain’t talked in days
C Am C
Neither one believes what the other has to say
F Am C F
And the agent says this is our only chance to play their evil games
C Am
Line em up, let the carnival begin
F G C
Feast upon our hurt, it’s all we have to give

[Chorus]
C F C
I don’t want a life without you
F Dm C Am C Am C
Are the tears worth the gold if we don’t make it through

[Verse 3]
C Am C
I won’t sleep tonight I can’t keep from crying
C Am C
Countless people care but who the hell am I
C F D Am C G F
In the end I’m just your husband and I vow to give my life
Am F G C
When all the bright lights dim and dark I’ll only be judged by how I held your heart

[Chorus]
C F C
I don’t want a life without you
F Dm C Am C Am C
Are the tears worth the gold if we don’t make it through
