Intro: A D E A (x2) 

verse 1 
A                          E 
Standing outside of Dollar General 
        D        A    
Another MLK boulevard 
A                       E 
Getting one more bag of dime store weed 
   D                A 
To smoke in my backyard 
         F#m                   E 
Well I'm so damn bored I could cut myself 
E                       A 
Only four more hours to kill 
A                  D               E                   A 
Every day until my mom gets out of working at the mill 

               D            E 
You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy 
A                      D 
Don't let them get you down 
D                         E 
While the locals work for coffee 
A                     D 
Remember You own this town 
      F#m           E 
Not a soul is gonna listen 
           A                   D 
Yeah, your scream won't make a sound 
       F#m      E         D 
With a world so black and white, boy... 
     A       D     E       A      A       D     E       A          
Stay gooooooooold, gooooooooold, gooooooooold, gooooooooold 


verse 2 
A                       E 
We went by the Marietta train tracks 
           D                A    
Where your sister lost her days 
A               E 
Traded a dirty magazine 
       D                A    
To the pinball guy for plays 
  F#m                 E 
I remember you always saying 
E                   A 
If you ever got out alive 
F#m        E         D                         E                        A 
You'd quit using and you'd get married to that girl on page twenty-five 


               D            E 
You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy 
A                      D 
Don't let them get you down 
D                         E 
While the locals work for coffee 
A                     D 
Remember You own this town 
      F#m           E 
Not a soul is gonna listen 
           A                   D 
Yeah, your scream won't make a sound 
       F#m      E         D 
With a world so black and white, boy... 
     A       D     E       A      A       D     E       A          
Stay gooooooooold, gooooooooold, gooooooooold, gooooooooold 


               D            E 
You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy 
A                      D 
Don't let them get you down 
D                         E 
While the locals work for coffee 
A                     D 
Remember You own this town 
      F#m           E 
Not a soul is gonna listen 
           A                   D 
Yeah, your scream won't make a sound 
       F#m      E         D 
With a world so black and white, boy... 
     A       D     E       A      A       D     E       A          
Stay gooooooooold, gooooooooold, gooooooooold, gooooooooold
