Garage Flowers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][Am]
[Em][D][G][C][Dsus4][D][G]

[Verse 1]
My mother was [C]a mail- [G]order bride
But my father was a fool
till the day [Am]he died
So is it any [Em]wonder I'm not
[D]good enough for [G]you
I'm just gonna [C]leave these garage
[D]flowers and push [G]on through

[Verse 2]
Hey, honey, I [G]was [Dsus4]wond'ring
[G]where you've been
'Cause if you don't ring the bell,
[Dsus4]then you [C]won't [Dsus4]get in[Am]
I'm not getting any [Em]younger
waiting [D]home alone for [G]you
If you're just gonna [C]leave your garage
[D]flowers and push [G]on through
Hey [C]baby, I'll

[Verse 3]
never live up to you
in your ivory tower
There's not enough room [G]for two
Not for me and you
So [C]I sing you my second-
rate serenade
And bring you half- cut flowers
and I'm half- afraid [D]of you
But I'm half [Em]in love

[Verse 4]
Said with [C]a cough
And the price [G]scratched [C]off[G]

[Verse 5]
[G]My mother only [C]ran with a chosen [G]few
And she would not ap[C]prove of
a man [Dsus4]like you[Am]
Well, she was never [Em]happy all [D]alone
with a bird's- eye [G]view
And me, I wouldn't [C]mind if you took
[Dsus4]me down j[D]ust a peg o[G]r two

[Verse 6]
I don't want too much and [C]I
don't know what [G]I need
And a bar on a Friday [C]night
is [Dsus4]about my [D]spe[Am]ed
So meet me in the [Em]middle baby,
come on down [D]just a peg [G]or two
And we can take a walk [C]around some common [D]ground,
just me [G]and you
Hey [C]baby, I'll never

[Verse 7]
live up to you
in your ivory tower
There's not enough room [G]for two
Not for me and you
So [Am]I sing [C]you my second-
rate serenade
And bring you half- cut flowers and
I'm half- afraid [D]of you
But I'm half [Em]in love

[Verse 8]
Said with [C]a cough
And the sticker [G]pulled off

[Outro 1]
