[Verse 1]
A D
Something's happenin' in the country
Bm E
And the government's to blame
E/G# A
We got married in a gold rush
Bm E
And the rush has never felt the same
A D
Shared a moment in a café
Bm E
Shared a kiss in the pouring rain
E/G# A
We got married in a gold rush
Bm E
And the sight of gold will always bring me pain
[Chorus 1]
A D
I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud
Bm E
I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
E/G# A
Boy who's your baby, girl if you don't know by now
Bm E
There's two seats on the midnight train, the gold won't weigh us down
[Verse 2]
A D
Hanging gardens turned to desert
Bm E
All that loving turned to hate
E/G# A
We got married in a gold rush
Bm E
And those wedding bells were ringin' out our fate
[Chorus 2]
A D
I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud
Bm E
I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
E/G# A
Boy who's your baby, girl if you don't know by now
Bm E
There's two seats on the midnight train, the gold won't weigh us down
[Interlude]
E A Bm E
[Bridge]
F#m Bm
The rush is on to somewhere else, we're runnin' out of time
F#m Bm
Everything was ours, now it's just an empty mine
B E
Animals don't understand the words on the danger sign
B E
For them it's just some shade from the mornin' shine
[Verse 3]
A D
I thought you might learn the language
Bm E
I thought you might learn to sing
E/G# A
We were born before the gold rush
Bm E
So why can't I remember anything?
A D
I want to put things back together
Bm E
I wanna give, I don’t wanna take
E/G# A
Time to disavow the gold rush
Bm E
And the bitterness that's flourished in its wake
[Chorus 3]
A D
I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud (please don't say it loud)
Bm E
I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
E/G# A
Boy who's your baby, girl if you don't know by now
Bm E
There's two seats on the midnight train, the gold won't weigh us down
A D
I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud (please don't say it loud)
Bm E
I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
E/G# A
Boy who's your baby, girl if you don't know by now
Bm E
There's two seats on the midnight train, the gold won't weigh us down
