D            A 
Workin' hard every day 
G 
Never notice how 
    A           D 
The time slips away 
D            A 
People come, seasons go 
G 
We got something 
        A          D 
That'll never grow old 

D       G 
I don't care 
       D         G 
If the sun don't shine 
        D          G 
And the rain comes pouring 
        D      G 
Down on me and mine 
       D           G 
'Cause our kind of love 
D     G            A  Em 
Never seems to get old 
     A           G          D 
It's better than silver and gold 

( D  D4  D  D2 ) 

  D              A 
I used to have a treasure chest 
G                   A      D 
Got so heavy that I had to rest 
  D            A 
I let it slip away from me 
G              D 
Didn't need it anyway 
G           A     D 
So I let it slip away 

D       G 
I don't care 
       D         G 
If the sun don't shine 
        D          G 
And the rain comes pouring 
        D      G 
Down on me and mine 
       D           G 
'Cause our kind of love 
D     G            A  Em 
Never seems to get old 
     A           G          D 
It's better than silver and gold 

( D  D4  D  D2 )
