Intro: G

G
What would it take 
D                      G
To put a smile on your face
                     A
I can?t seem to make 
                       D
Heads or tails of your heart


C                                    Bm
Standing in front of the florist for hours
          G                D              G
I?ve come up with this for you in lieu of flowers


G
What would it take
D                    G
For you to have some fun
                       A
One day you want to slow down 
        D
Then we run


C                              Bm
I?ve been studying on this for hours

I?ve come up with this for you in lieu of flowers

The weatherman called for sun again today
         Bm          
But as I peer out my window
      C               D
All I feel and see is rain
G
On the floor scattered
                     C
Pieces of our broken days


C                                    Bm
