[Intro]
Bb Ab Cm
[Verse]
Bb
When you're dead and buried
Ab Cm
With a smile painted on your face
Bb
Your eulogy, like poetry
Ab Cm
Flowers overwhelming the wake
Bb
Where I'm sure as in your life there will be
Ab Cm
Beautiful women there in your death
Bb
Crying out, they swear they will love you until
Ab Cm
Their very own last dying breath
Bb
'Cause you just have this way of charming those
Ab Cm
Who catch your eye like shiny things
Bb
With a face made for daytime TV shows
Ab Cm
You're a nightmare disguised as a good dream
[Interlude]
Bb Ab Cm
[Chorus]
Bb Ab Cm
When she wants a garden, you give her a rose
Bb Ab Cm
Just the taste of something you could give her but you won't
Bb Ab Cm
When she wants a garden, you give her a rose
Bb Ab Cm
And you know it
[Verse]
Bb
But you just have your ways, what with all of those
Ab Cm
Grotesque displays of love you show
Bb
Ripped from pages of books, every word which you know
Ab Cm
And recite back to them as if they were your own
Bb
I feel sorry for them because how could they know?
Ab Cm
'Til they've died by your hands, 'til they've felt the cold
Bb
Cut of your sharp tongue, with your delusions of grandeur
Ab Cm
Yeah, you give nothing and think it too much
[Chorus]
Bb Ab Cm
And when she wants a garden, you give her a rose
Bb
And I'll bet you have to hide your grin
Ab Cm
As you watch it die in your arms
Bb Ab Cm
When she wants a garden, you give her a rose
Bb Ab Cm
And you know it
[Verse]
Bb
When you've dearly departed
Ab Cm
There will be all those broken-hearted
Bb Ab Cm
But I'll have a smile painted on my face
Bb
There's a spot in the grass
Waiting for you at
Ab Cm
Whispering Glades
Bb
And Hollywood suits you, darling, I think
Ab Cm
You should stay
