| Girl you’ve spent | one too many |
| G/F# | Em | Em7 |
| Years of your life fi | ghting | |
| C |
| And when the | smoke has cleared your |
| Am7 | Am7 | D7 |
| Face has grown but your | heart’s still seven | teen |
| G | G/F# |
| And | here I am another | night spent throwing |
| Em | Em7 |
| Flowers at your wi | ndow |
| Cadd5 | D11add5 |
| But you pret | end that you can’t | hear me |
| Bb | Dm |
| And my | song turns to a | scream |
Capo 3: C C7 F
Capo 1: D D7 G
| G | G/F# | Em | Em7 |
| Think | back on all the | times you woke up | crying | |
| C | Am7 |
| Was it | him or was it | me |
| Am7 | D7 |
| Who helped you | see the sun again | ? |
| G | Em |
| And did he | call to share his | glory? |
| G | Em |
| And did he | care to share your | pain? |
| Cadd5 | D11add5 |
| And did he s | tand outside your | window |
| Bb | Dm |
| Throwing | flowers in the r | ain? |
| F | C | Cadd5 | G | G | D | D | F#m | F#m | A |
| | | | | | | | | | |
| G |
| So I’ll go | home and spend |
| G/F# | Em | Em7 |
| An | other night with | out you | |
| C | Am7 |
| And I’ll | plan another | hundred ways to |
| Am7 | D7 |
| Make you change your | mind |
| G | G/F# |
| And the | night will pass, and the | stars will set |
| Em | Em7 |
| And | soon it will be | morning |
| Cadd5 | D11add5 |
| And you’ll | wait behind your | window |
| Cadd5 | D11add5 |
| And he’ll | go on with his | life |
| Cadd5 | D7 | G |
| And I’ll | toss another | petal into | time |
