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