Flowers After The Fact

Tom: D

D  A  D

[Verse 1]
D        G            D
Ten days too late you show up
D                          G               A      C
With a sheepish grin and a bouquet in your hand
D        G               D
You make mistakes by the dozen
      G                     A                D
Don't think you can make it up the same way again

[Chorus]
G
Flowers after the fact
D                  G
Ain't gonna get me back
D                      G          A
You gotta do something sooner and better than that
G
When you bring red roses
D                   G
There's an ulterior motive
D             A      C D
Don't give me flowers after the fact

[Instrumental]
G D G D A D

[Verse 2]
D          G                 D
No part of your heart's ever in it,
D                              G                A      C
You're just trying to get your foot back in the door
D       G             D
I might feel like you meant it
         G                          A              D
If those long stems had come in the name of love before

[Chorus]
G
Flowers after the fact
D                  G
Ain't gonna get me back
D                      G          A
You gotta do something sooner and better than that
G
When you bring red roses
D                   G
There's an ulterior motive
D             A      C D
Don't give me flowers after the fact

[Outro]
G
When you bring red roses
D                   G
There's an ulterior motive
D             A      C D
Don't need no flowers after the fact
D                 A      C D               D G C D  (End thing play D)
Now don't give me flowers after the fact
