Verse:
Bm*     G9G9      F#*
 It never rains but it pours
B minorBm      G9G9      F#*
 Do keep the wolf from the door
G+G      F#F#
 I see him sitting in silence
G+G      F#**
 Outside my house
G+G      F#F#
 Quiet as a mouse

Chorus:
 D MajorD        A4  A augmentedA  B minorBm         F#F#
I tried to buy you roses but all the stars were closed
  D MajorD      A4   A augmentedA   B minorBm         F#F#
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
  D MajorD          A4   A augmentedA
But I can't dance and I can't sing
 B minorBm     F#F#
A augmentedA loser I suppose
G+G        F#F#
So all I have is buttercups
G+G       F#F#
 All I have is buttercups
G+G          F#**
 What is wrong with buttercups
 Bm*    G9G9  F#*
Who knows

 You said to have and to hold
B minorBm     G9G9     F#*
 Do let me in from the cold

 I see you sitting in silence
G+G       F#**
 Inside your house
G+G      F#F#
 Quiet as a mouse

  How can I see if you never show it

  I tried to buy you roses
B minorBm        A augmentedA    G9G9
But all the stars were closed
