Here's the return of your skeleton key

Oh baby, the places we've gone 

D 
If that was goodbye then I must be high 
G 
You know I'll be seeing you soon

If that was goodbye then the snow in July  
G                      F G 
Is handed in the middle of June

'Cause when I'm with you, everything's treasure

I'm far from the town, in the suburbs of your pleasure
