Verse 1:
        FF
You promised me roses
       C majorC
When you came around
           G+G
There was nothing but weeds here
          C majorC
Growing out of the ground

        FF
I've given you this
          C majorC
And I've given you that
        G+G
I'm givin' all my love to
             G+G
Someone who won't give it back

Chorus:
G+G             FF
I'm planting flowers on a gravel road
       C majorC
Waiting on a bloom
         G+G
Trying to make a garden grow
          C majorC
Where nothing ever grew

       A#A#  FF
I give you my attention
          C majorC   BdimBdim A minorAm
I keep you from the cold

Flowers on a gravel road

Verse 2:
FF           A#A#
Well, this just ain't working
      FF
That much I know
      C majorC
If I didn't love you
    A minorAm     FF
I could just let it go


           A#A#
So when you feel like trying
        FF
And talking to me
            C majorC
Go to the rock and the hard place
             C majorC
'Cause that's where I'll be

I'm planting flowers on a gravel road

         C majorC
Trying to make a garden grow
          FF
Where nothing ever grew

And I give you my attention
          FF   C majorC  DmDm
I keep you from the cold
            A#A#
But I might as well be planting
C majorC          FF
Flowers on a gravel road

Verse 3:
          FF
I don't know what's sadder
        C majorC
Fact you don't care
          G+G
Or the fact of the matter
         C majorC
That I'm getting nowhere

      FF
Running in circles
         C majorC
And chasing your heart
        G+G
I can't seem to stop now
     DmDm  G+G
Why did I ever start?

Trying to make a garden grow
          C majorC
Where nothing ever grew

         A#A#  FF
And I give you my attention
          C majorC   G+G  A minorAm
I keep you from the cold
            FF
But I might as well be planting
G+G          C majorC  B minorBm A minorAm
Flowers on a gravel road


Outro:
            FF
Oh, I might as well be planting

Flowers on a gravel road
