[Intro] G Em G Em D G F* C* [Verse 1]
G
Fifteen years together

   C                   G
We climbed by work and will

                       Em
From a simple two room cottage

     A7             D7
To a mansion on the hill

            G
Now there's roses in the garden

             C                G
But it's the coldest place in town

        Em                   G
It took fifteen years, going up

    D                G   F* C*
And one night coming down
[Chorus]
G       C        G
Fifteen years of heaven

    C                  G
For one short night of sin

          C        G
From blue skies forever

      D    D7
To an end

     G   C    G
From out on a mountain

        C            G
To both knees on the ground

Em      G      Em    G
Fifteen years, going up

    D                G
And one night coming down
[Solo] Em | G Em | D | G F* C* | [Verse 2]
    G
Her dreams have all been shattered

    C              G
Her faith in me  is gone

                      Em
My tears tell her I'm sorry

    A                   D
But they can't write my wrong

    G
One night wrote my story

      C               G
How a man can lose it all

      Em      G     Em    G
After fifteen years going up

     D              G    F* C*
It's hard to take a fall
[Chorus]
G       C        G
Fifteen years of heaven

    C                  G
For one short night of sin

          C        G
From blue skies forever

      D    D7
To an end

     G   C    G
From out on a mountain

        C            G
To both knees on the ground

Em      G      Em    G
Fifteen years, going up

    D                G
And one night coming down
[Outro]
F          G       Em    G     Em
I've been, fifteen years going up

    D                G    F* C*  F* C* G
And one night coming down
