    G - D - G

 

  - - - - - -   G      C         G                       C                  G

Well, this flower is my soul, but it's not half of what I owe,

               C                     G                      D

I should give you every rose that ever grew.

                      G            C       G                           C                     G

But take this one here for a start, and you can keep it in your heart,

                                 D                       G

I have everything I need because of you.

 

                      G          C         G                         C                G

1. Well, if my life was long enough to pack up everything I love,

                                                               D

    I would do just that and give it all to you.

                      G    C        G                C                               G

    But it's impossible to pay all the things that you gave away,

                              D                       G

    so this flower I give, will have to do.

 

+ CHORUS    + instrumental = verse 1

 

                 G           C         G                 C                       G

2. All the flowers growing wild for ten thousand lonely miles,

                                                                      D

    it's not near enough to give you what I should.

                   G           C         G                C                      G

    So I will owe you for a while, maybe longer than my time,

                                            D           G

    I would give you all the world if I could.

 

+ CHORUS

 

               G                  D                        G         + G - D - G

+ I have everything I need because of you.
