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