Anthony John Clarke - Come upstairs

Some people grow old so ^Dmgracefully ^G Others let the short years take their ^Ctoll ^{E E}Like you, I travelled miles And though we ^Amalways seem to smile I'm ^Fjust not as good as you at being ^Eold ^Am

An sometimes we've not been too ^Dmnice to each other On oc^Gcasion, I've just been downright ^Cbad ^{E E}In spite of all of this How come it's ^Amyou I always seem to miss ^F And our years have been the best years that I've ^Ehad ^Am

I remember watching you pack three ^Dmsuitcases ^G Heading off to Europe on some ^Cspree ^{E E}You ordered me about And then you ^Amleft me to keep house Told ^Fme not to bother waving as you'd ^Eleave ^Am

I sat alone and thought about all the ^Dmgood times Yes, I ^Goccupied myself most every ^Cday ^{E E}The trip did us no harm You came home and ^Amrushed into my arms It was as ^Fif you'd never even been a^Eway

Come up^Astairs^D and spend your life be^Eside me Come up^Astairs with that ^Dlaughter in your ^Eeyes Come up^Astairs, undo my ^Dcollar Babe, you ^Elook a million ^Adollars And I ^Dalways knew you lov^Eed me all the ^Atime

In the end, I guess it all comes down to ^Dmsomething I may ^Gnot believe in much these days, that's ^Ctrue But as ^EI worry about that little thing Called ^Amtime upon my hands I guess ^FI may as well spend some of it with ^Eyou

And I ^Amknow that you've known others and I ^Dmknow that I have too But in the ^Gend, I guess it's only fair to ^Csay ^{E E}That I'm really glad we stuck it out And I'm ^Amreally glad you stayed 'Cause ^FI wouldn't have had life any other ^Eway

Come up^Astairs^D and spend your life be^Eside me Come up^Astairs and we'll ^Dorder food and di^Ene Come up^Astairs, undo my ^Dcollar Babe, you ^Elook a million ^Adollars And I ^Dalways knew you lov^Eed me all the ^Atime ^A7 Come up^Astairs, undo my ^Dcollar Babe, you ^Elook a million ^Adollars And I ^Dalways knew you lov^Eed me all the ^Atime
