Verse:
Bm*         G9           F#*
  It never rains but it pours
Bm            G9            F#*
  Do keep the wolf from the door
G           F#
  I see him sitting in silence
G            F#**
  Outside my house
G            F#
  Quiet as a mouse

Chorus:
  D                A4   A    Bm                 F#
I tried to buy you roses but all the stars were closed
    D            A4      A      Bm                 F#
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
    D                   A4     A
But I can't dance and I can't sing
  Bm          F#
A loser I suppose
G               F#
So all I have is buttercups
G              F#
  All I have is buttercups
G                   F#**
  What is wrong with buttercups
 Bm*        G9   F#*
Who knows

Verse:
Bm            G9          F#*
  You said to have and to hold
Bm          G9          F#*
  Do let me in from the cold
G           F#
  I see you sitting in silence
G             F#**
  Inside your house
G            F#
  Quiet as a mouse

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

   And this could be life as we know it
Bm           A     G9                 A9
   How can I see if you never show it
Bm            A      G9      A9
   I tried to buy you roses
Bm               A        G9
But all the stars were closed
