Verse 1
C#m
Her dream was to shine on the screen
B
Thought that was why she was born
C#m
Left all behind without a fear inside
B
But sometimes there's no lucky star to help you
F# A
Sun will go down, and she's all alone
C#m B
Can't help but feel insecure
F#m A
She'll never stop, the way to the top
B
Is more than she had bargained for
Verse 2
C#m
Her quest for the glory was real
B
But somehow it turned out all wrong
C#m
Heartache was never a part of the dream
B
Can't find a reason to keep on trying
F# A
Turn out the light, 'cause deep in the night
C#m B
She's like the thousands before
F#m A
Hold out your hand, there's hope at the end
B
But be careful what you wish for
Chorus
E B
Now the lights are all gone
F#m A
You find yourself on your own
C#m B F#m A
Welcome the night 'cause not all that glitters is gold
E B
Now the city has gone
F#m A
You find your own way back home
C#m B F#m A
Keep up the fight and you'll find your Kingdom of Gold

Verse
C#m
Another night out on the streets
B
Finding a way to survive
C#m
Wasting your chances, destroying your dreams
B
Counting the tears that you cry
F#m A
Hiding the pain, it drives you insane
C#m B
But still you're craving for more
F#m A
So give me your hand, hold on 'til the end
B
And you can have what you wish for
Chorus
E B
Now the lights are all gone
F#m A (B)
You find yourself on your own
C#m B F#m A
Welcome the night 'cause not all that glitters is gold
E B
Now the city has gone
F#m A
You find your own way back home
C#m G#m F#m A
Keep up the fight and you'll find your Kingdom of Gold
