Buy Me A Rose

Kenny Rogers


Tom: D

D   G   G

[Verse 1]
D                A               G                 A
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
D                 A             G       A
Three car garage, her own credit cards
   Bm               A           D                 G
He pulls in late to wake her up   with a kiss goodnight
A             G             D          Em7
  If he could only read her mind she'd say

[Chorus]
A        D                  Bm
Buy me a rose, call me from work
       G                         A
Open a door for me what would it hurt
            D                            G
Show me you love me by that look in your eye
D                    A                            D    D   G   A
These are the little things I need the most in my life

[Verse 2]
        D                  A                G         A
Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
D                  A                 G            A
She can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
Bm               A       D             G
Lately she'd try anything  to turn his head
A                 G                   D    Em7
  Would it make a difference if she'd said
 
[Chorus]
A        D                  Bm
Buy me a rose, call me from work
       G                         A
Open a door for me what would it hurt
            D                            G
Show me you love me by that look in your eye
D                    A                            D    D
These are the little things I need the most in my life

[Bridge/Verse 3:]
        Bm                      A
And the more that he lives, the less that he tries
   G                      D
To show her the love that he holds inside
        Bm                       A
And the more that she gives, the more that he sees
G                          A
This is a story of you and me

[Chorus]
A                   D                         Bm
  So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
            G                      A
To open the door to a heart that I hurt
               D                       G
And I hope you noticed this look in my eye
      D                     A                          D
Cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life
                 Bm   A
The rest of your life
    G
And I'm gonna hold you tonight
D                   A                           D    D   G   A   D
Do all those little things for the rest of your life
