[Intro 1]
[Am][C][G][Am][G][C][G][Am][G][C][G][Am]
[C][G][Am][G]
[C]
[G]18 kar

[Verse 1]
[Am]at gold [F]wouldn't fill the[G] hole
The [C]bleeding hole [G]in her [Am]heart
That's [F]made
from circumstances at [G]home
Cus [C]they kept [G]pulling [Am]her hair
[F]So they choked her wor[G]ds
[C]She don't sle[G]ep at nig[Am]ht,
[F]afraid to turn out the lig[G]ht

[Interlude 1]
And she's home
[C][G][Am][C][G]
[Am][C][G][Am][F][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]I thought: [G]18 karat gold,
[Am]woul[F]d save a lonely soul[G]
[C]But she don't sle[G]ep at nig[Am]ht,
[F]afraid to turn out the[G] light
Cause [C]they kept [G]pulling her [Am]hair
[F]Wouldn't leave her alo[G]ne
But if [C]only I could [G]read her
[Am]mind[F]
And release that [G]stone

[Verse 3]
In her [C]heart where the sadness [G]grows
[Dm]I'd operate with t[C]his knife
And cut a big fat giant [G]hole
[Dm]To fill with gold and [C]light

[Verse 4]
But [C]there's [Cm]an endless [G]battle to be [C]won
And me I ain't a [Eb]man with an
[G]educated [C]mind
And soon, [Cm]you won't [Eb]have
[G]the strength to carry [C]on
[Cm]So y[Eb]ou scream ab[G]out it
in the night
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
Ohh in [C]the night....[G][Am]
In [C]the night....[G][Am]
Ohh in the night....
[C][G][Am][F][G]

[Verse 6]
[C]My [G]18 karat [Am]gold, [F]it fills a dirty hol[G]e
A dirty [C]bleeding hole [G]in my [Am]heart
You people think it's [F]made
from circumstances at [G]home
Well if someone [C]ever should
be [G]pulling your [Am]hair
Then I [F]guess you should leave them [G]alone
And now you [C]want me to
[G]read your [Am]mind[F]
And release that [G]stone

[Verse 7]
That stone in your [C]heart where
the sadness [G]grows
You know [Dm]I, I'd operate with this [C]knife
And cut a big fat giant [G]hole [Dm]to fill.
Fill with gold and [C]light

[Verse 8]
But [Eb]there's an endless [G]battle to be [C]won
Me [Cm]I ain[Eb]'t a man with an
[G]educated [C]mind
And soon, [Eb]you won't have
[G]the strength to carry [C]on
[Eb]So you scream ab[G]out it in the ni[Cm]ght

[Verse 9]
[Eb]Next endless [G]battle to be [C]won[Cm]
I ain't a [Eb]man with an edu
[G]cated [C]mind[G][Cm]
[Eb]And you won't have
the strength to carry [Cm]on[G]
[C]So [Eb]you scream abou[G]t it
in the night
[C][G]

[Verse 10]
[Am]
Ohh in [C]the night....[G][Am]
Ohh in [C]the night....[G][Am]

[Outro 1]
In the night....
