Kris Delmhorst - Garden Rose


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: G  D  C  G  (2x)

       D    C           G
I have lived as a garden rose
          D   C          G
It is the only life I've known
              D    C           G
I've felt the touch of tending hands
         D   C                G
I get my rain from a watering can

             D   C        G
Now from the time I was a seed
           D   C        G
I have had everything I need
           D     C           G
And I grew strong and I grew tall
          D         C               G
Until the day I saw past the garden wall


CHORUS:
             C                     G
Now, tell me something, little wildflower
          D    C             G
Can't you make some room for me?
              C                 G
'Cause I will climb out of this garden
           D      C         G      D   C   G
And put my feet down in the weeds


         D            C            G
I always thought that my life was enough
       D                C               G
'Til I saw your face so brilliant and so rough
             D                  C               G
And you were shining right back up at the whole sky
            D       C                  G
Handing out smiles, travellers passing by


CHORUS:
             C                     G
Now, tell me something, little wildflower
          D    C             G
Can't you make some room for me?
              C                 G
'Cause I will climb out of this garden
           D   C           G
And I will lay down in the weeds


BRIDGE:
           Em              C
And if an acorn becomes an oak tree
Em          D/F#            G  C
Caterpillar makes a butterfly
         Em               C
Oh, then tell me one good reason
  Am                             D
A rose should not become a weed by and by


                 C                G
'Cause don't the sunshine lay the brightest
       D    C           G
On the shoulders of the wild?
                 C            G
And don't the breeze blow the sweetest
       D   C          G
On the face of its own child?


CHORUS:
            C                     G
And tell me something, little wildflower
         D      C           G
Have you made some room for me?
              C                  G
'Cause I will leave this wall forever
         D   C              G
A little wildflower, I will be
         D   C              G
A little wildflower, I will be
           D   C                G    D   C   G
