Buy me a rose

1. He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants,

C G F - G

a three-car garage, her own credit card.

Am G C F

He pulls in late to wake her up, with a kiss goodnight

G F C d

if he could only read her mind, she'd say:

G C Am

Buy me a rose, call me from work,

Dm G

open a door for me, what would it hurt?

Show me you love me by the look in your eyes,

C G C

these are the little things I need the most in my life.

2. Now the days have grown to years of feelin' all alone,

C G F - G

and she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong.

Am G C F

'cause lately she tried anything to turn his head,

G F C - Dm

would it make a difference if she said :#

+ CHORUS

Am G

And the more that he lives, the less that he tries,

F C

to show her the love that he holds inside.

Am G

And the more that she gives, the more that he sees,

F - - - G

this is the story of you - and me.

C Am

So I bought you a rose on the way home from work,

Dm G

to open the door to a heart that I hurt.

/ C F

And I hope you notice this look in my eyes,

C G C - Am - G

'cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life.

F ~ ~

And I'm gonna hold you tonight - -

C G C - F - C

do all those little things for the rest of your life.
