Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

 Well this flower is my soul

 But it's not half of what I owe

 I should give you every rose that ever grew

 But take this one here for a start

 And you can keep it in your heart

 I have everything I need because of you

 Well if my life was long enough

 To pack up everything I love

 I would do just that and give it all to you

 But it's impossible to pay

 All the things you gave away

 So this flower I give will have to do

[repeat CHORUS]

 All the flowers growing wild

 For ten thousand lonely miles

 It's not near enough to give you what I should

 So I will owe you for a while

 Maybe longer than my time

 I would give you all the world if I could

[repeat CHORUS]

 I have everything I need because of you
