[Intro]
B   G   A  B   G   A


[Verse 1]
B
Where do you stand
B
What is your statement
B                              G A
What is it you're trying to say
B
What's in your hand
B
What's in your basement
B                               G  A
What's in the cards you don't play


[Bridge]
D                          G
Are you holding the key
Em              A
Or are you intending
      D                G               A
To pick the lock of heaven's gate
B                   G
It's confusing to me
Em                      A
The message you're sending
        D                       G          A
And I don't know if I can relate


[Chorus]
B
What's you line
                                        E
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
B
State of mind
                                   E
Or does it find a way into your soul


[Interlude]
B   G   A


[Verse 2]
B
Is it a flame
B
Is it a passion
B                            G  A
A symbol of love living in you
B
Or is it a game
B
Religion in fashion
B                                G            A
Some kind of phase you're going through


[Bridge]
            D         G
We all travel the extremes
           E              A
From cellar to rafter
 D                 G                   A
Looking for a place in the sun
            B              G
So I'm trying to see
           E                      A
What you're headed after
       D                            G                       A
But I don't know where you're coming from


[Chorus]
B
What's you line
                                        E
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
B
State of mind
                                   E
Or does it find a way into your soul
B
What's you line
                                        E
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold


[Bridge 2]
B                               A
……………. Tell me ….. why ………….

B   A   E

B                               A
……………. Tell me ….. why ………….


B   G   A   E

B                               A
……………. Tell me ….. why ………….

B    G    A     B
G    A    G    A


[Verse 3]
                  D                G
For some it's simply something
     E
to wear around your neck
A
Just a chain
D
Jewellery
G        E
Is it decoration
A
Is it an icon
       B
Or proclamation
G
An icon of what
E
What
                                   D           G
For some … for some it's simply something
E                               A
to wear around your neck
A
Just a chain
A
It means a lot more than that to me


[Chorus]
B
What's you line
                                        E
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
B
State of mind
                                   E
Or does it find a way into your soul
B
What's you line
                                        E
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
B
State of mind
                                   E
Or does it find a way into your soul
