[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
F
You promised me roses
C
When you came around
G
There was nothing but weeds here
C
Growing out of the ground
F
I've given you this
C
And I've given you that
G
I'm givin' all my love to
G
Someone who won't give it back
[Chorus]
G F
I'm planting flowers on a gravel road
C
Waiting on a bloom
G
Trying to make a garden grow
C
Where nothing ever grew
A# F
I give you my attention
C Bdim Am
I keep you from the cold
F
But I might as well be planting
G C
Flowers on a gravel road
[Verse 2]
F A#
Well, this just ain't working
F
That much I know
C
If I didn't love you
Am F
I could just let it go
A#
So when you feel like trying
F
And talking to me
C
Go to the rock and the hard place
C
'Cause that's where I'll be
[Chorus]
A#
I'm planting flowers on a gravel road
F
Waiting on a bloom
C
Trying to make a garden grow
F
Where nothing ever grew
D# A#
And I give you my attention
F C Dm
I keep you from the cold
A#
But I might as well be planting
C F
Flowers on a gravel road
F A# C F C
[Verse 3]
F
I don't know what's sadder
C
Fact you don't care
G
Or the fact of the matter
C
That I'm getting nowhere
F
Running in circles
C
And chasing your heart
G
I can't seem to stop now
Dm G
Why did I ever start?
[Chorus]
F
I'm planting flowers on a gravel road
C
Waiting on a bloom
G
Trying to make a garden grow
C
Where nothing ever grew
A# F
And I give you my attention
C G Am
I keep you from the cold
F
But I might as well be planting
G C Bm Am
Flowers on a gravel road
[Outro]
F
Oh, I might as well be planting
G C
Flowers on a gravel road
