You remind me of a rose

An absolute rose

Or better yet
  Eb               C
A bud preparing to bloom
     Fm7                         Bb
This summer you will soak up the city

The sunlight the sea

Who knows what this new adventure will be

When you open
G
Open
Cm
Open up anew

You'll be an absolute rose
       Bb        Eb
Once I cultivate you

Jordan, meet my cousin, Nick Carraway

Jordan is an amateur golfer

And a confirmed bachelor

Verse:
                              Fm7
You know what's grand about a rose?
                      Bb
Who are you calling a rose?
                       Eb
Is sometimes they look best
              C
When they are arranged

Here we go
           Fm7
You should see the trophies
     Bb
That hang on her walls
       Bb
So you know I've always had a thing
                G7
For swinging at little white balls

Chorus:
         Cm        G
I should fling you together
       Cm                          Fm
Find a boat, push you right out to sea
         F7
Or maybe lock you in a room
                        Bb7
And see what happens to bloom

Post-Chorus:
Fm7        Bb7      Eb        Ebm
Fun though this is, I'm going out tonight
Fm7       Bb7        Eb       C
Oh, women run around too much these days to suit me
F7           Bb7
Nick doesn't want a wife who traipses from golf tournaments to parties
                                                 Bb7
Better than a husband who travels with a pack of polo ponies
                                   Bb7
A man needs a wife who's more of a delicate flower

Bridge:
Gb
  If I'm a rose

I'm a rose under glass

Frozen at its pinnacle

More cynical by the day
Gb7
I've been everywhere

Seen everything

Done everything

God, I've made it

I'm so sophisticated
Ab
But look at you
Ab7
You are back from the war

Brave and victorious

(Victorious)
                   Ab
With glorious days ahead

(Glorious days ahead)

You're writing books
            Ab7
I'm selling bonds

(You're selling bonds)
         G7
Daisy, I hate it
           Gb7
No, you've made it
                      B
I swear, this all was fated

Dance with me, Nick

Break:
    B                 Gbm7                  B7
You altogether missed dancing with me at my wedding
E                      Db7
Why weren't you at our wedding?
Gbm7
I wasn't back from the war
Ab7
Ah, everyone's favorite excuse

Outro:
         Dbm*
When you open
Ab7*
Open
Db*             Bbm*
Open up, you'll see
Gbm7*                 B7*
You'll be an absolute rose
       B*         E
Like I used to be
