[Intro]
Am G Am G Am
[Verse]
Dm G
Some people grow old so gracefully
C E
Others let the short years take their toll
E
Like you, I travelled miles
Am
And though we always seem to smile
F E Am
I'm just not as good as you at being old
[Verse]
Dm
An sometimes we've not been too nice to each other
G C E
On occasion, I've just been downright bad
E
In spite of all of this
Am F
How come it's you I always seem to miss
E Am
And our years have been the best years that I've had
[Verse]
Dm G
I remember watching you pack three suitcases
C E
Heading off to Europe on some spree
E
You ordered me about
Am
And then you left me to keep house
F E Am
Told me not to bother waving as you'd leave
[Verse]
Dm
I sat alone and thought about all the good times
G C E
Yes, I occupied myself most every day
E
The trip did us no harm
Am
You came home and rushed into my arms
F E
It was as if you'd never even been away
[Chorus]
A D E
Come upstairs and spend your life beside me
A D E
Come upstairs with that laughter in your eyes
A D
Come upstairs, undo my collar
E A
Babe, you look a million dollars
D E A
And I always knew you loved me all the time
[Instrumental]
Am G Am G Am
[Verse]
Dm
In the end, I guess it all comes down to something
G C
I may not believe in much these days, that's true
E
But as I worry about that little thing
Am
Called time upon my hands
F E
I guess I may as well spend some of it with you
[Verse]
Am Dm
And I know that you've known others and I know that I have too
G C E
But in the end, I guess it's only fair to say
E
That I'm really glad we stuck it out
Am
And I'm really glad you stayed
F E
'Cause I wouldn't have had life any other way
[Chorus]
A D E
Come upstairs and spend your life beside me
A D E
Come upstairs and we'll order food and dine
A D
Come upstairs, undo my collar
E A
Babe, you look a million dollars
D E A A7
And I always knew you loved me all the time
A D
Come upstairs, undo my collar
E A
Babe, you look a million dollars
D E A
And I always knew you loved me all the time
[Outro]
Am G Am G Am
