[Verse 1]
D D/C# Bm Bm7
I sense a runner in the garden
G A7 A6
Although my judgment's known to fail
D D/C# Bm Bm7
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
G A7 A6
Cause I'd forgotten how to sail
G A7 D
I know the runner's going to tell you
G A7 D
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
G A7 D
So now he's buried by the daisies
G A7
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe
[Verse 2]
D D/C# Bm Bm7
I sense a spy up in the chimney
G A7 A6
From all the evidence I've burned
D D/C# Bm Bm7
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
G A7 A6
And soon to ashes I'll return
G A7 D
I know the spy is going to tell you
G A7 D
It's not my flag up in the pole
G A7 D
So now he's buried by the lilies
G A7
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe
[Verse 3]
D D/C# Bm Bm7
I sense a leak inside my phone now
G A7 A6
From all the lies I have told
D D/C# Bm Bm7
I know he has your private number
G A7 A6
And soon he'll make that vicious call
G A7 D
I know the leak is going to tell you
G A7 D
There ain't no puppy in your leash
G A7 D
So now he'll fertilize the roses
G A7
So I could stay the king you see in your eyes, babe
G A7
So I could stay the king you see in your eyes, babe
[Interlude]
D D/C# Bm
So now we're dancing through the garden
G A7 A6
And what a garden I have made
D D/C# Bm
And now that death will grow my jasmine
G A7 A6
I find it soothing I'm afraid
G A7 D
Now there is no need for suspicion
G A7 D
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
G A7 D
I won't be lying when I tell you
G A7
That I'm a gardener, I'm a man
A7 D
In your eyes babe
A7 D
In your eyes babe
A7 Bm
In your eyes babe.
