[Intro] Am F Am F Dm E7 [Verse 1]
                     Am
Are you standing outside?

G                  F
Looking up at the sky

Em                  Dm
Cursing a wandering star

E7              F
Well if I were you

Dm        E7            Am
I'd throw rocks at the moon

G        F            Em       Dm
I'd say "Damn you wherever you are"

E7                     Am
I don't know where to start

F     G              Am         G
This cage 'round my heart

       F         C/E       Dm   Em
Locked up what I meant to say

        F       C/E       Dm    Em
What I felt all along the way

      F
Just wondering how come

 G                              E7
I couldn't take your breath away
[Chorus]
                    F
'Cause I never sent roses

Dm      E7     Am
I never did enough

G                     F
I didn't know how to love you

Dm                     E7
Though I loved you so much

                        F
And I should have sent roses

Dm   E7             Am
When you crossed my mind

    G        F
For no other reason

Dm                     E7
Than the fact you were mine

                   Am
I should have sent roses
Am F Dm E7 [Verse 2]
                   Am
Looking back on my life

G                 F
If fate should decide

Em                Dm
I could do it all over again

E7                Am
I'd build no more walls

G                   F
I'd stay true and recall

    Em                      Dm
The fragrance of you on the wind

E7                     F
You'll get better than me

Dm  E7          Am
Someone who can see

G              F
Right from the start

      Em            Dm
Giving all that you need

         E7
And I'll slip away

F                    G                  E7
Knowing I'm half the man I should be
[Chorus]
                    F
'Cause I never sent roses

Dm      E7     Am
I never did enough

G                     F
I didn't know how to love you

Dm                     E7
Though I loved you so much

                        F
And I should have sent roses

Dm   E7             Am
When you crossed my mind

    G        F
For no other reason

Dm                     E7
Than the fact you were mine

                   Am
I should have sent roses
[Outro] Am G F Em Dm E7
                      Am
Yeah should have sent roses
