♫ Verse:
G+G
Dear Bill
G+G
I'm afraid I've not got long to write
G+G
I'm off to Mary's
               C majorC
You know how she feels about Bridge night
C majorC
It's been a few days
                G+G
I thought that I'd send a few lines
G+G
Next door's Greyhound came into the garden this morning
G+G
I think he likes the roses
       D MajorD
They're doing fine

♫ Verse:
      E minorEm        G+G         C majorC
I used some twine to tie them up and rein them in
C majorC
I hope they'll bloom next spring
                 G+G
But you'll see that for yourself
I'm following the instructions you left in your note
                   C majorC
Please devote all your time to their care
C majorC
And I have done, I swear
        G+G
Except for the talking
G+G
I'm not going to do that
                    C majorC
Cos talking to Roses is mad and you knew that
     A minorAm       G+G      C majorC     C minorCm      D MajorD
When you whispered sweet nothings to flowers to make my dad cross
And me laugh
    G+G
And it did

♫ Chorus:
   E minorEm     C majorC      C majorC     G+G
And why did we meet in the middle of a war?
     Am7Am7       C majorC    G+G
What a silly thing for anyone to do

♫ Verse:
G+G
Your sister sends her love of course
And your mother is the same as ever
                  C majorC
Diana's piano is getting much better
Well, I say better, I really just mean louder but as she tells me

♫ Verse:         G+G
That's pretty much the same
     C majorC               A minorAm
Well it makes a change from all of the noise
     G+G
And the sirens
FF                No Chord
And sometimes from all of the silence

♫ Verse:
          D MajorD D7D7
With six rounds of jingle bells
     BB         E minorEm       A augmentedA       G+G
And we wish you a Merry Christmas even though it is June
And it's been a long summer
                         C majorC
But she wants to be perfect for her older brother

♫ Verse:
C majorC
She hopes you'll be home again soon
N.C
No
   C majorC             D MajorD
She knows you'll be home again soon
      C majorC
And it's fine
     E minorEm
And we're fine
    G+G
It's nice to watch her get better with time

Pre:
   C majorC
I suppose they just miss you
  C majorC
I know they just miss you
     A minorAm       G+G     D MajorD
And I'm not going to argue with that


♫ Chorus:
   E minorEm     C majorC      C majorC     G+G
And why did we meet in the middle of a war?
     Am7Am7       C majorC    G+G
What a silly thing for anyone to do

     G+G     D MajorD   C majorC         G+G
And I'm trying my best to write everything down
   G+G      D MajorD      C majorC       G+G
To fill in the gaps so that when you're around
   C majorC        G+G   C majorC  D MajorD
It'll be like you've never been gone
  C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
As if you'd been here all along
      C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
'Cause you can't just miss out on the songs

♫ Bridge:
    G+G       B minorBm
And to tell you the truth Tom
    C majorC       G+G
Your roses aren't thriving
   G+G        BB
Without you they're dull
    C majorC        G+G
Don't worry they're surviving

      G+G       C majorC        D MajorD      G+G
But I've tried all the tricks that you put in your note
      G+G     C majorC
And I've watered the soil
      D MajorD     E minorEm
'Till it started to float
E minorEm
And no I've not talked to them
E minorEm
I'm not going to talk to them
      B minorBm      C majorC    BB       E minorEm
There's something you have, that I just don't have
   A minorAm         G+G
And since you're off gallivanting
C majorC      D MajorD      A minorAm
It's only fair that you know
      G+G      C majorC        D MajorD       A minorAm
That your roses quite frankly where the first things to go
   G+G       C majorC
And no you're not gallivanting
D MajorD       A minorAm
I don't mean gallivanting
G+G      C majorC       D MajorD     A minorAm
It's just frustrating for you to be right
   G+G     C majorC      D MajorD       A minorAm
When I have to do both the sides of this fight
G+G         C majorC -
But it's good to hear you
         D MajorD
Even just in my head N.C


Pre:
           C majorC
And the roses just miss you
          C majorC
I know they just miss you
       A minorAm   G+G     D MajorD
And I'm not going to argue with that
       A minorAm     G+G       D MajorD
There's so much to do when you come back

♫ Verse:

    E minorEm      G+G       C majorC     G+G
And I know that they say that it's all for a cause
    E minorEm       G+G     C majorC     G+G
Our brave boys out fighting a war to end wars
      G+G
But it's like they don't see
       C majorC
That when you're far from me
   A minorAm     G+G       C majorC      D MajorD
Our roses don't get the conversation they need
          C majorC
Which just seems unfair
      A minorAm        D MajorD
I'm stuck here and you're there


Pre:
          C majorC
I suppose I just miss you
        C majorC
I know I just miss you
   G+G      C majorC
Even now I still miss you


♫ Chorus:
   E minorEm     C majorC      C majorC     G+G
And why did we meet in the middle of a war?
     A minorAm       C majorC    G+G  G7G7
What a silly thing for anyone
