[Intro] D G G [Verse 1]
D                A               G                 A
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants

D                 A             G       A
Three car garage, her own credit cards

   Bm               A           D                 G
He pulls in late to wake her up   with a kiss goodnight

A             G             D          Em7
  If he could only read her mind she'd say
[Chorus]
A        D                  Bm
Buy me a rose, call me from work

       G                         A
Open a door for me what would it hurt

            D                            G
Show me you love me by that look in your eye

D                    A                            D    D   G   A
These are the little things I need the most in my life
[Verse 2]
        D                  A                G         A
Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone

D                  A                 G            A
She can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong

Bm               A       D             G
Lately she'd try anything  to turn his head

A                 G                   D    Em7
  Would it make a difference if she'd said
[Chorus]
A        D                  Bm
Buy me a rose, call me from work

       G                         A
Open a door for me what would it hurt

            D                            G
Show me you love me by that look in your eye

D                    A                            D    D
These are the little things I need the most in my life
[Bridge/Verse 3:]
        Bm                      A
And the more that he lives, the less that he tries

   G                      D
To show her the love that he holds inside

        Bm                       A
And the more that she gives, the more that he sees

G                          A
This is a story of you and me
[Chorus]
A                   D                         Bm
  So I bought you a rose on the way home from work

            G                      A
To open the door to a heart that I hurt

               D                       G
And I hope you noticed this look in my eye

      D                     A                          D
Cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life

                 Bm   A
The rest of your life

    G
And I'm gonna hold you tonight

D                   A                           D    D   G   A   D
Do all those little things for the rest of your life
