Em G C G Am C x1

♫ Verse:
G
Dear Bill
G
I'm afraid I've not got long to write
G
I'm off to Mary's
                             C
You know how she feels about Bridge night
C

It's been a few days
                                G
I thought that I'd send a few lines
G
Next door's Greyhound came into the garden this morning
G
I think he likes the roses
              D
They're doing fine

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


♫ Chorus:
     Em         C            C          G
And why did we meet in the middle of a war?
         Am7             C        G
What a silly thing for anyone to do

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

♫ Verse:                  G
That's pretty much the same
          C                             Am
Well it makes a change from all of the noise
          G
And the sirens
F                                No Chord
And sometimes from all of the silence

♫ Verse:
                    D D7
With six rounds of jingle bells
         B                 Em             A             G
And we wish you a Merry Christmas even though it is June
And it's been a long summer
                                                 C
But she wants to be perfect for her older brother

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

Pre:
     C
I suppose they just miss you
    C
I know they just miss you
         Am             G         D
And I'm not going to argue with that


♫ Chorus:
     Em         C            C          G
And why did we meet in the middle of a war?
         Am7             C        G
What a silly thing for anyone to do

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

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

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


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

♫ Verse:

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


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


♫ Chorus:
     Em         C            C          G
And why did we meet in the middle of a war?
         Am             C        G    G7
What a silly thing for anyone
