[Verse 1]
Em D G
Free fall for now
Em D G
Desert air won’t drown you out
Em D G C
And for a second I thought the world was ending
Em D G
And I couldn’t breathe in
Em D G
Yeah, and so this isn’t your time
Em D G
Yeah, been chasing kairos with those scapegoat eyes

Can’t you realize?
Em D
Fuck the summertime, it’s you
G
So scared of overgrowing youth
Em D G
When it’s not done with you

[Chorus]
Em D G
And everybody gon’ run, run
Em D G
Everybody gon’ run, run
Em D
And you can call it what you want
G C
But I call it moving on
Em D G
And I’m so done with singing words I don’t believe in no more

Note: The other parts of the song has the same progression.

How to play Gold: key, chords and progression

Gold by Eden is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 4 chords in all: Em, D, G and C.

Listen for Em – D – G – Em (vi – V – I – vi in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is lah – soh – doh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
