G5                       E5
I sense a runner in the garden
C5                                 D5
Although my judgement's known to fail
G5                              E5
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
C5                          D5
Cos I'd forgotten how to sail

C5             D5                 G5
I know the runner's going to tell you
C5             D5                 G5
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
C5             D5                 G5
So now he's buried by the daisies
C5                              D5                 G5
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe

G5                       E5
I sense a spy up in the chimney
C5                                 D5
From all the evidence I've burned
G5                       E5
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
C5                          D5
And soon to ashes I'll return

C5             D5                 G5
I know the spy is going to tell you
C5             D5                 G5
It's not my flag up in the pole
C5             D5                 G5
So now he's buried by the lilies
C5                              D5                 G5
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe

G5                       E5
I sense a leak inside my phone now
C5                                 D5
From all the lies I have told
G5                       E5
I know he has your private number
C5                          D5
And soon he'll make that vicious call

C5             D5                 G5
I know the leak is going to tell you
C5             D5                 G5
There ain't now puppy in your leash
C5             D5                 G5
So now he'll fertilize the roses
C5                              D5                 G5
So I could stay the king you see In your eyes, babe

C5  D5           G5
In your eyes, babe
In your eyes, babe

G5                       E5
So now we're dancing through the garden
C5                                 D5
And what a garden I have made
G5                       E5
And now that death will grow my jasmine
C5                          D5
I find it soothing I'm afraid

C5             D5                 G5
Now there is no need for suspicion
C5             D5                 G5
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
C5             D5                 G5
I won't be lying when I tell you
C5                              D5                 G5
That I'm a gardner I'm a man In your eyes, babe

C5  D5           G5
In your eyes, babe
In your eyes, babe
