D A
When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the car
G D
Headed up to the Rockies, to get a job at this bar
D A
Selling beer to the locals, just barely getting by
Em A
On the tips from the rich kids, they?re owin? daddy's dime
Bm G
But from the moment she walked in one night
Bm G A
I knew I'd be all right in
[Chorus]
D F#m/C#
Tel- luride, it?s snow falling down
Bm G
I was waking up in that sleepy little town
D F#m/C#
In her eyes my world came so alive
Bm G
I never will forget the moment she arrived
D A Bm G
In Telluride
D A
We spent that whole winter tangled up by a fire
G D
Cast- ing shadows on the cabin wall, drowning in desire
D A
Con- fessing all our secrets and laughing out loud
Em A
So high up on that mountain, I thought we'd never come down
Bm G
It was a dream we were living in
Bm G A
And I was the happiest I'd ever been
[Chorus]
D F#m/C#
Telluride, it?s snow falling down
Bm G
Waking up with her in that sleepy little town
D F#m/C#
In her eyes, my world came so alive
Bm G
I never will forget all those sleepless nights
D A Bm G A
In Telluride, whoa- oh, yeah- yeah,
A Bm G A
It ended just like a movie scene
A Bm G
And I had to play the part
A Bm G
Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave
Em A
me with the frozen heart
[Chorus]
D F#m/C#
In Telluride, the snow falling down
Bm G
Standing there alone in that sleepy little town
D F#m/C#
In her eyes, my world came so alive
Bm G
I never will forget the day she said goodbye
D F#m/C#
Telluride, the snow falling down
Bm G
I was waking up with her in that sleepy little town
D F#m/C#
In her eyes, my world came so alive
Bm G
I never will forget all those sleepless nights
D A Bm G
In Telluride
D A Bm G
Oh, Telluride
