[Verse]
G C
Long-stemmed things of beauty
D G
Created by the Good Lord
C G
And cut down, in the prime of their lives
C
Boxed up, wrapped in paper
D G
Delivered to your front door
C
Just to wind up in
D
Your garbage can, outside
[Chorus]
G C D (D D# C)
Tell me, how many flowers have to die
C D
Before you give this love another try
G C
I've asked you to forgive me
D Em
At least nine dozen times
C D G
Tell me, how many flowers have to die
[Verse]
G C
I'm crazy and I'm desperate
D G
I had you then I blew it
C G
And right now, I've got nothing left to lose
C
I've got a VISA in my wallet
D G
And I'm not afraid to use it
C
How long the needless violence lasts
D
Is really up to you
[Chorus]
G C D (D D# C)
Tell me, how many flowers have to die
C D
Before you give this love another try
G C
I've asked you to forgive me
D Em
At least ten dozen times
C D G
Tell me, how many flowers have to die
G G D D G G G
N.C. C
Stop the senseless killing
D Em
Can't you hear those roses cry
C D G
Baby, tell me how many flowers have to die
C D G
Tell me how many flowers have to die......
