Verse 

G                  Bm 
This is the golden age 
             C 
It's hard to imagine 
          A 
With the way I feel today 
       G          D      C 
That this is the golden age 
D          G 
The golden age 

Bm 
Somewhere I failed 
             G 
Somewhere I lost you 
Bm 
In a black crowd of crows 
     C 
And shiny things 
D 
I can't remember

Verse 

Bm 
It seems like I'm high 
              G 
But baby I'm crawling 
Bm 
In the unbearable days 
        C 
I threw away 
D 
But I should have savored 

G 
The flaxen light 
           Bm 
Off of the dying wheat 
C 
Your rye whiskey mouth 
         A 
And your dandelion teeth 


G           D      C    D 
This is the golden age 
G           D      C    D 
This is the golden age 
G           D      C    D 
This is the golden age
