Intro

(Em Cadd9 D)x3 Em Cadd9 (D Emsus4 Em)x2

Verse 1

Em Cadd9 D Em
Sugar come get next to me ‘cause I’ve got to know you

Em Cadd9 D Em
You can take the rest of me, I’ve got to explore

Em Cadd9 D Em
Think about all the time you spend thinking about all the time

Em Cadd9 D Emsus4 Em D
Letting little trifles own your roll, you’re bound to lose your mind

Emsus4 Em

Em Cadd9 D Em
Player pianos and instant trips home

Em Cadd9 D Em
never bring you satisfaction, baby you’ve got no room to roam

Em Cadd9 D Em
Like a fluttering kite on a string when you’ve got no wind

Em Cadd9 D Emsus4 Em
You know you can’t control these things – Let go and live again

D Emsus4 Em

Chorus

G Am7 D Em
She found a freedom and a loneliness that she’s never known

G Am7 D Em
no shortcuts to heaven, baby, fewer shortcuts to soul

G Am7 D Em
You can read it in her face – feel it in her smile

G Am7 D Emsus4 Em D Emsus4 Em
Sugar come get next to me – just a little while

Verse 2

It wasn’t so long before she had a love like sweet sin

It’s something of a crime, you see, every time it has to end

Unexpectant to the dream you never will out grow

You got no shortcuts to heaven, baby, fewer shortcuts to soul

Chorus

She found a freedom and a loneliness that she’s never known

No guarantees on a friend to lighten up your load

Like a fluttering kite on a string when you’ve got no wind – you know you

can’t control these things, let go and live again

Verse 3

In the dim light of a bar, she sits with her braided hair

Discreet indiscretions on her mind – a cold and icy stare

She said “lay your money down fast boy – You might want to take a chance”

I got up and sat back down

I never got my dance

Chorus

She found a freedom and a loneliness that she’s never known, yea –

No shortcuts to heaven fewer shortcuts to soul

You can read it in her face, feel it in her smile

Sugar come get next to me just a little while

Verse 4

She contemplates and she makes plans but her timing never seems to fit

The delusional destination in her mind – she’s tugging on another hit

Pick it up and take one down, it’s not so far to go

You got no shortcuts to heaven, babe fewer shortcuts to soul

Chorus

She found a freedom and a loneliness that she’s never known

No guarantees on a friend to lighten up your load

Like a fluttering kite on a string when you’ve got no wind –

you know you can’t control these things Let go and live again

She found a freedom and a loneliness that she’s never known

No shortcuts to heaven, baby, fewer shortcuts to soul

You can read it in her face – feel it in her smile

Sugar come get next to me just a little while

It’s time to make you smile
