Burn Like Gold (1K

VERSE 1 — | 16 Bars Inst: Acoustic guitar, fretless bass, hi-hats, Rhodes pads

I left the porch light on for you last night The cigarette you left is cold but it still lights I memorized the way your laugh just fills a room Before the morning came and took the place of you

I wear the hoodie that you left behind It's getting loose now but I don't really mind I drive the long way home past your old street Just to feel something close to a heartbeat

PRE-CHORUS — | 8 Bars Inst: Brush snare, kick, bass walk, Rhodes, string pads

And I know, I know You're somewhere I can't follow But I — but I Keep reaching through the hollow

CHORUS — | 16 Bars Inst: Full kit, bass, Rhodes (D–A–Bm–G), electric guitar, strings, harmonies

You burn like gold in my memory I'm chasing something I can barely see Every road leads me back to your door I don't know how to want less, want more You burn like gold (Repeat) You burn like gold

VERSE 2 — | 12 Bars Inst: Acoustic guitar, low bass, hi-hats, Rhodes long notes

I found an old voicemail from a Tuesday in June Your voice sounds different now inside an empty room I almost called you back about a hundred times But I keep letting go one day at a time

PRE-CHORUS — | 8 Bars Inst: Brush snare, kick, bass, Rhodes, strings (builds)

And I know, I know You're somewhere I can't follow But I — but I Keep reaching through the hollow

BRIDGE — | 8 Bars Inst: Rhodes solo, cello pad, four-floor kick, bass Bm–G, frame drum, harmonies

Maybe I'll let you go with the winter Maybe this heart don't have to splinter I'll hold the warmth until it's over And fold it in like it ain't over

FINAL CHORUS + OUTRO | 4 Bars Inst: Full band, overdriven guitar, strings, ad-libs, reverb fade

You burn like gold in my memory I'm chasing something I can barely see (soft) You burn like gold... yeah, you burn like gold... (Guitar fades)
