Lyrics and Chords: 

Verse 1: 
     
       B                   
Golden honey drippin' from this house,
         G
Black stilettos on a leather couch,
      B
Apple jeans stickin' tight like glue,
        G
Soakin' wet, drink it up like juice,
         B
Come on, come on, come on,
         G
Come on, come on, come on,


Chorus: 

B      D                 A       G
Lay me down on sheets of cotton, whoa, whoa,
B           D                 A    G
You make me feel like I could fly, whoa, whoa,
B                 D                 A        G
Headlights on the bedpost, we ain't stoppin', no, no,
B       D                    A
If you forgot, I'll tell you why,
G
'Cause Charlie ain't home,

B    D    A
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
G
Charlie ain't home,
B    D    A
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
G
Charlie ain't home,

Verse 2: 

          B                   
I dig my fingertips into your back,
                  G                         
Till the pictures break and the floorboards crack,
       B                  
Oh, my tongue is a silver key,
         G                  
Swimmin' deep in a sinner's sea,
         B
Come on, come on, come on,
         G
Come on, come on, come on,

Chorus: 
B      D                 A       G
Lay me down on sheets of cotton, whoa, whoa,
B           D                 A    G
You make me feel like I could fly, whoa, whoa,
B                 D                 A        G
Headlights on the bedpost, we ain't stoppin', no, no,
B       D                    A
If you forgot, I'll tell you why,
G
'Cause Charlie ain't home,

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
G
Charlie ain't home,
B    D    A
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
G
Charlie ain't home,

Bridge:

Oh, Charlie, Charlie,
Bm                   
Please let that boy go, darlin',
A                           G
It wasn't his fault, it was mine,
E
Oh, Charlie, Charlie,
Bm
He didn't know no better,
A                                F#m 
I should have listened, you were right,

You make me feel like I could fly, whoa, whoa,
B                 D                 A        G
Headlights on the bedpost, we ain't stoppin', no, no,
B       D                    A
