Key: G

Intro:

G


Verse 1:
G
Took the first flight I could get home
                  C
Checked in to the front desk

Walked up to your floor
G
Shared a couple bites of cheesecake
                 C
Talked about the summers

We spent on your porch



Pre-Chorus:
         Am
You were tryin' not to cry for me

And I was tryin' not to cry for you
          C
Yeah, you really, really were the best

But you left way too soon



Chorus:
G                              C
 Oh, dear, I miss you all the time
                           Am
I wish we'd never said goodbye

Like daisies in the dirt
    A/B  C
The most beautiful flowers
                         G
Always get picked first



Verse 2:
G
We were sittin' in the silence
             C
Listenin' to voices over the TV
G
I was starin' out the window
              C
Holdin' on to your hand

Didn't wanna leave



Pre-Chorus:
         Am
You were tryin' not to cry for me
          Am
And I was tryin' not to cry for you
A/B        C
 Yeah, you really, really were the best
                     G
But you left way too soon



Chorus:
                             C
Oh, dear, I miss you all the time
                                Am
I wish we'd never said goodbye

Like daisies in the dirt
         C
The most beautiful flowers

Always get picked first
G
 Oh, dear, you left me way too fast
C
 I wish they saved the best for last
Am
 Like daisies in the dirt
         C
The most beautiful flowers
              G            C
Always get picked first
