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