[VERSE I]
[G#7#11]
 She peels an orange for us in the morning
[G#7#11]
 She woke me up to give me half
               [C#m7]
I can hear the children soccer-ballin'
                             [C#m7]
Like wildcats running on the grass, hey
         [G#7#11]
You're a girl on this island, I'm a boy from America
   [G#7#11]                                                 [C#m7]
My flight leaves tonight, but I don't think I'm going backwards
                     [C#m7]
I won't be going backwards
 
[CHORUS]
          [G#7#11]
You're my golden girl
N.C.                [G#7#11]
You're the one I've chosen girl
         [C#m7]
You're 24k, you make it bright when it's grey
         [G#7#11]
You're my golden girl
N.C.              [G#7#11]
The sun has been kind to you
         [C#m7]
You're 24k (Girl)
                    [C#m7]
But the sky's never grey (Never grey)
 
[VERSE II]
[G#7#11]
 Silent moments, meditative poses
[G#7#11]
 You break my focus, you make me laugh
           [C#m7]
Two mopeds racing through the forest
       [C#m7]
Making dirt clouds on a path, on a path
       [G#7#11]
I'm my best on this island, I'm a mess in America
   [G#7#11]                                                [C#m7]
My flight left last night, but I know I'm not going back home, yeah
                   [C#m7]
I'm not going back home, no
 
[CHORUS]
          [G#7#11]
You're my golden girl
N.C.                [G#7#11]
You're the one I've chosen girl
         [C#m7]
You're 24k, you make it bright when it's grey
         [G#7#11]
You're my golden girl
N.C.              [G#7#11]
The sun has been kind to you
         [C#m7]
You're 24k (Girl)
                    [C#m7]
But the sky's never grey (Never grey)
 
[BRIDGE]
      [Fm]                         [A#m7]
If we build a house in paradise, will we get to heaven still?
[Fm9]                                    [A#m7]
 If we don't have to live through hell just to get to heaven
      [F#m7]            [Fm7]
I'mma stay right here with you
[F#m7]                      [Fm7]                          [G#7#11]
 Til the hurricane comes, 'til the tsunami comes, I've found my girl
 
[CHORUS 3]
N.C.                [G#7#11]
You're the one I've chosen girl
         [C#m7]
You're 24k, you make it bright when it's grey
         [G#7#11]
You're my golden girl
N.C.              [G#7#11]
The sun has been kind to you

[RAP VERSE]
N.C           [C7#11]
Um, you're my G-O L-D E-N G-I R-L
[C7#11]
And that's for the females that can't spell, but
[C7#11]
Thanks for fucking with me
[C7#11]
You turn my dark into light, you're like a bucket of bleach
        [Fm7]
You see, I want you to know that
[Fm7]
My negatives at home aren't working for my Kodak
[Fm7]
So that means that I don't want to go back
[Fm7]
Just know that I would like to stay here and hold that
        [C7#11]
Hand of yours, girl I'm a wreck in America
[C7#11]
Your face is the best cause it's the same color as the lace on my neck
[C7#11]              N.C. [C7#11]           N.C. [C7#11]
And you're golden, uh, your eyes open, fuck it
[C7#11]
Let's toast and listen to Michael Bolton
[Fm7]
 I free-fall off the hill again
[Fm7]
Let's see where I land, I'm like Gilligan
[Fm7]
Um, I trust you, Golden, for what? ?
[Fm7]
I'm just hopin' that you don't turn my neck green.
