[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D G D
Ten days too late you show up
D G A C
With a sheepish grin and a bouquet in your hand
D G D
You make mistakes by the dozen
G A D
Don't think you can make it up the same way again
[Chorus]
G
Flowers after the fact
D G
Ain't gonna get me back
D G A
You gotta do something sooner and better than that
G
When you bring red roses
D G
There's an ulterior motive
D A C D
Don't give me flowers after the fact
[Instrumental]
G D G D A D
[Verse 2]
D G D
No part of your heart's ever in it,
D G A C
You're just trying to get your foot back in the door
D G D
I might feel like you meant it
G A D
If those long stems had come in the name of love before
[Chorus]
G
Flowers after the fact
D G
Ain't gonna get me back
D G A
You gotta do something sooner and better than that
G
When you bring red roses
D G
There's an ulterior motive
D A C D
Don't give me flowers after the fact
[Outro]
G
When you bring red roses
D G
There's an ulterior motive
D A C D
Don't need no flowers after the fact
D A C D D G C D (End thing play D)
Now don't give me flowers after the fact
