Intro
Em G C D x2
[Verse 1]
Em G
That night in cold Colorado
C D
You told me more than you ought to
Em
And I drank the nectar
G
But not from the bottle
C D
The dazzle and glow of your eyes
Em G
You held my hand on the swing set
C D
Kind of treatment that kings get
Em G
You told me act more and think less
C D
Or lonely is all that I'll find
[Chorus]
Em
Oh, come on now, honey
G
And put down your books
C
Let's go out for a while
D
And get by on your looks
Em
Hang the keys to our hut
G
Somewhere high on the hook
C D
Ain't no ladder thats built yet can reach, oh
Em G C D x2
[Verse 2]
Em G
What good is your guard of roses
C D
Perched there in elеgant poses
Em G
A good man who's lucky and knows it
C D
Who is handsome, and charming, and kind
Em G
When I comе back from the brink
C D
That poor man's station will sink
Em G
He'll become wretched as me
C D
He can borrow, but can't keep what's mine
[Chorus]
Em
Oh, come on now, honey
G
And put down your books
C
Let's go out for a while
D
And get by on your looks
Em
Hang the keys to our hut
G
Somewhere high on the hook
C D
Ain't no ladder thats built yet can reach
[Chorus]
Em
Oh, come on now, honey
G
And put down your books
C
Let's go out for a while
D
And get by on your looks
Em
Hang the keys to our hut
G
Somewhere high on the hook
C D
Ain't no ladder thats built yet can reach, oh
