1. He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants,
         C5               G5              F5       - G5
    a three-car garage, her own credit card.
        A5                G5            C5                   F5
    He pulls in late to wake her up,     with a kiss goodnight
G5                F5             C5           D5
    if he could only read her mind, she'd say:
 G5        C5                  A5
Buy me a rose, call me from work,
        D5                         G5
open a door for me, what would it hurt?
             C5                           F5
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes,
  C5                    G5                           C5    
these are the little things I need the most in my life.
    - F5 - G5

            C5                  G5                F5           - G5
2. Now the days have grown to years of feelin' all alone,
         C5                  G5                 F5           - G5
    and she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong.
            A5                G5        C5                F5
    'cause lately she tried anything      to turn his head,
G5                    F5                 C5    - D5
    would it make a difference if she said :

+ REFRAIN 
             A5                       G5
    And the more that he lives, the less that he tries,
         F5                     C5
    to show her the love that he holds inside.
             A5                        G5
    And the more that she gives, the more that he sees,
      F5                                 - - - G5
    this is the story of you - and me.


                       C5                        A5
    So I bought you a rose on the way home from work,
                 D5                      G5
    to open the door to a heart that I hurt.
        /           C5                      F5
    And I hope you notice this look in my eyes,
            C5                     G5                          C5   - A5 - G5
    'cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life.
         F5                          ~  ~
    And I'm gonna hold you tonight - -
     C5                    G5                          C5   - F5 - C5
    do all those little things for the rest of your life.
