1. Gold rush, digging for gold in my neighbourhood,

A

gold rush, where all the old buildings stood,

E

gold rush, and they keep digging it down and down,

gold rush, so that the cars can live underground.

E D

Gold rush, the swinging of a wrecking ball,

A

gold rush, through these lath and plaster walls,

E

gold rush, is letting all the shadows free,

gold rush, the ones I wish still followed me.

E A E

Change, followed me, followed me, please, don't change !

E A E

Stay, followed me, followed me, stay the same !

2. Gold rush, I remember a winter's night,

A

gold rush, we kissed beneath the street lamp light,

E

gold rush, outside a bar near the record store,

gold rush, that have been condos for a year and more.

E D

Gold rush, now that our haunts have taken flight,

A

gold rush, and been replaced with construction sites.

E

Gold rush, oh, how I feel like a stranger here,

gold rush, searching for something that's disappeared.

3. Gold rush, digging for gold in my neighbourhood,

A

gold rush, for what they say is the greater good.

E

Gold rush, but all I see is a long goodbye,

gold rush, a requiem for a skyline.

E D

Gold rush, it seems I never stopped losing you,

A

gold rush, because every dive becomes something new,

E

gold rush, and all our ghosts get swept away,

gold rush, it didn't used to be this way.

E A E

Change, be this way, be this way, please, don't change !

E A E

Stay, be this way, be this way, stay the same !

E A E

Cranes, be this way, be this way, devour the light !

E A E

Strange, be this way, be this way, appetite.

A E

+ And I've ascribed these monuments

A

a false sense of permanence

E

I've placed faith in geography to hold you in my memory.

A E

Gold rush, I'm sifting through these wreckage piles,

A

gold rush, through the rubble of bricks and wires,

B7

gold rush, looking for something I'll never find,

E

gold rush, looking for something I'll never find.

4. Gold rush, digging for gold in my neighbourhood,

A

gold rush, where all the old buildings stood,

E

gold rush, and they keep digging it down and down,

gold rush, so that the cars can live underground.

A

gold rush, because every dive becomes something new,

E

gold rush, and all our ghosts get swept away,

gold rush, it didn't used to be this way.

+ Change, it didn't used to be this way,

E

gold rush, it didn't used to be this way.

Gold rush, it didn't used to be this way,

gold rush, it didn't used to be this way ...
