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