♫ Intro:

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
