[Verse 1]
G C G
There should be flowers all around me
G D
but when I look around not one can I see
C G
If it only takes dirt to make flowers grow
G D G
there should be bouquets in the dirt that you throw.
[Chorus]
C G
I gave them the rain that falls from my face
G D
there's not one petal, not even a trace.
C G
And I can't understand, why flowers won't grow
G D G
Cause there should be bouquets in the dirt that you throw.
[Verse 2]
G C G
Orchids and violets, roses entwine
G D
beautiful gardens they all should be mine.
C G
cause misery and sorrow that's all that you sow
G D G
and there should be bouquets in the dirt that you throw.
[Solo]

[Chorus]
C G
I gave them the rain that falls from my face
G D
there's not one petal, not even a trace.
C G
And I can't understand, why flowers won't grow
G D G
Cause there should be bouquets in the dirt that you throw.
[Verse 3]
G C G
There should be flowers all around me
G D
but when I look around not one can I see
C G
If it only takes dirt to make flowers grow
G D G
there should be bouquets in the dirt that you throw.
