[Intro]
Dm Em Am G

[Verse 1]
Dm                    Em
Midas, you've got me thinking
          Am
'bout the story
            G
You've everything
            Dm
you've ever wanted
             Em         Am
But will you ever get to hold me?
                       G
Doesn't it get lonely?
    Dm                   Em
And Midas, you're used to hearing
            Am
that you're something
          G         Dm
Above the ordinary, golden
          Em              Am
You wanna be the one and only
                      G
Doesn't it get lonely?

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
But you won't get away with it
                  Em
No, you won't get away
               Am
with it 'cause I
I look at you, I'm seeing that
        G                Dm
you're just as lost as I

Know, I'm not afraid of it
            Em                  Am
No, I'm not afraid to close my eyes
Oh, how I wish that there's was
a way that we could

[Chorus]
Dm              Em       Am
Always, always live for always
        G     Dm
Till we die together
         Em        Am
Say you want to be here

You wanna be young
    G         Dm
You wanna be my love
       Em    Am
Always be in my love
         G   Dm
Say that you remember
            Em         Am   G
Feeling the same about me

[Verse 2]
Dm                    Em
Midas, you've got me thinking
          Am
'bout the legends
                 G
You know you'll join
         Dm
'em up in heaven
            Em              Am
But if you stay with me, no hurry
                        G
I will make it worth it
Dm                   Em
Midas, you're like a monument,
  Am
a statue
           G                Dm
No man on earth could ever hurt
you
              Em           Am
No, you don't ever have to worry
                      G
Why do I still worry?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm
And you won't get away with it
              Em
No, you won't get away
               Am
with it 'cause I
I look at you, I'm seeing that
        G                 Dm
there's something in your eyes
Dm
Saying you're afraid of it
              Em                Am
Saying you're afraid of passing time
Oh, how I wish that there's was
a way that we could
