C G
My problems seem to stem
C G
From the little seeds I plant
C Em
I try to stop I can't
C Em C
It's not in my nature
C G
Nip it in the bud
C G
They don't make it hurt enough
C Em
Dead in his tracks
C Em C
When I finally think I'm never going back
C G
They begin to flower
[Chorus]
Am G C G x4
No, oh, oh, it's not your fault at all
No, oh, oh, it's not your fault at all
No, oh, oh, it's not your fault the white flag is hanging on the wall
C G
Nip it in the bud
C G
Tend to blow my dews
C G
Like a nurse made to help battle wounds
C Em C Em C
Scars are like a trophy I carry with me
C G
He waits to see what is sown
C G
Come and see what grows
C Em C Em C
When all of the leaves have fun falling off
Em C Em
What must you do but wait
C Em
To welcome the frost
C G
Nip it in the bud
[Chorus]
And oh, oh, oh, it's not your fault at all
No, oh, oh, it's not your fault at all
No, oh, oh, it's not your fault the white flag is hanging on the wall
Hanging on the wall
C G
Nip it in the bud
Nip it in the bud
Nip it in the bud
Nip it in the bud
