Kris Delmhorst - Garden Rose
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G D C G (2x)
D C G
I have lived as a garden rose
D C G
It is the only life I've known
D C G
I've felt the touch of tending hands
D C G
I get my rain from a watering can
D C G
Now from the time I was a seed
D C G
I have had everything I need
D C G
And I grew strong and I grew tall
D C G
Until the day I saw past the garden wall
CHORUS:
C G
Now, tell me something, little wildflower
D C G
Can't you make some room for me?
C G
'Cause I will climb out of this garden
D C G D C G
And put my feet down in the weeds
D C G
I always thought that my life was enough
D C G
'Til I saw your face so brilliant and so rough
D C G
And you were shining right back up at the whole sky
D C G
Handing out smiles, travellers passing by
CHORUS:
C G
Now, tell me something, little wildflower
D C G
Can't you make some room for me?
C G
'Cause I will climb out of this garden
D C G
And I will lay down in the weeds
BRIDGE:
Em C
And if an acorn becomes an oak tree
Em D/F# G C
Caterpillar makes a butterfly
Em C
Oh, then tell me one good reason
Am D
A rose should not become a weed by and by
C G
'Cause don't the sunshine lay the brightest
D C G
On the shoulders of the wild?
C G
And don't the breeze blow the sweetest
D C G
On the face of its own child?
CHORUS:
C G
And tell me something, little wildflower
D C G
Have you made some room for me?
C G
'Cause I will leave this wall forever
D C G
A little wildflower, I will be
D C G
A little wildflower, I will be
D C G D C G
Two little wildflowers, we will be
