  G                 A7           G              A7
A friend brought me flowers, she said they were lilacs,

     G          A7                G  A7
I've never been good with plants

    G          A7        G         A7
Her next presentation, a new dictionary

    G           A7              A7sus4
She circled the word "romance"

   G      A7       G          A7
So enthusiastic, a little bit drastic,

  G               A7          G  A7
I shaved her name in my head.

G        A7           G         A7
As she beheld it, she said I misspelled it;

G    A7
Need more be said?
Chorus:
Bm7       A7            G       G  G/F#  Em7
    These apples are delicious!

          A7                    N.C.
    "As a matter of fact they are," she said

Bm7      A7                 C
    Can all this fruit be free? 
Interlude: G A7 G A7 G A7 G A7 Verse 2:
    G          A7        G        A7
She wrote me a letter as big as a phone book

     G          A7          G  A7
I've never been big on mail

  G          A7            G              A7
I sent her a postcard from somewhere near Lethbridge,

    G              A7                 A7-3  A7sus4  A7
And wondered if it still went by rail 

     G          A7            G       A7
I've never been frightened of being enlightened

    G           A7              G  A7
But some things can go too far

       G             A7        G         A7
Though sometimes I stammer and mix up my grammar,

    G           A7
You get what my meanings are 
Chorus:
Bm7       A7            G       G  G/F#  Em7
    These apples are delicious!

          A7                    N.C.
    "As a matter of fact they are," she said

Bm7      A7                 C

Interlude: G A7 G A7 Bridge:
D/F#          G                A7                     Bm7
    I'm not trying to sing a love song, I'm trying to sing in tune

D/F#       G                        A7   G  A7
    I know I am sometimes headstrong

D/F#         G                A7              Bm7
    Falling in love, catching fire, I want to be consumed

D/F#          G                  A7       G      A7
    Wondering will I ever tire,      will I ever tire?

    G  A7         G      A7
             Will I ever tire?
