The Garden

Tom: Bbm

     C#           Fm
Come visit in the garden
        F#          C#
On some sunny afternoon
      C#             Fm
Come find me in the flowers
         F#             C#
Like you always used to do
C#               Fm
Come disrupt our silence
      F#            Eb
This pact we softly made
    C#                 Fm
To keep things how we left them
          F#     F#m     C#
And leave other things unnamed

[Verse 2]

        C#            Fm
You've dusted off the old book
     F#           C#
The one I dearly missed
        C#             Fm
You've come to read a chapter
     F#           Ab
The one we often skipped
      Bbm             Faug
I'll sit a while and listen
          F#            Eb
It's the civil thing to do
     C#             Fm
But love, I didn't need to read
     F#      F#m    C#
The thing I always knew

[Verse 3]

    C#               Fm
You greet me with a kindness
           F#             C#
But I can see it in your eyes
      C#             Fm
Your soul is new to heartache
          F#             C#
Mine has been here many times
          Bbm              Faug
I want to wrap you up and tell you
      F#            Eb
Your pain is fully grown
             C#            Fm
That's not a lesson I can give you
              F#       F#m      C#
You've got to learn it on your own

[Verse 4]

        C#        Fm
So I'll water my petunias
     F#             C#
And send you on your way
         C#                Fm
We find strength in funny places
            F#                Ab
But once we do, it's here to stay
         Bbm          Faug
So come visit in the garden
                     F#              Eb
When you've stopped picking at your wounds
    C#                Fm
My love, I think it's very clear
                F#     F#m     C#
We've got some growing left to do
