Em G/D C G/B Am7 C6 G
[Verse]
G
Dear BillI'm afraid I've not got long to write
I'm off to Mary's
C
You know how she feels about Bridge nightIt's been a few days
G I thought that I'd send a few lines G Next door's Greyhound came into the garden this morning
I think he likes the roses
Bm/F# They're doing fine Em G/D Cadd2 I used some twine to tie them up and rein them in
I hope they'll bloom next spring
G
But you'll see that for yourself[Verse]
G I'm following the instructions you left in your note C Please devote all your time to their care
And I have done, I swear
G
Except for the talkingI'm not going to do that
C Cos talking to Roses is mad and you knew that Am G C/E G/D Dsus When you whispered sweet nothings to flowers to make my dad cross D And me laugh G And it did
[Chorus]
Bm/F# Em G/D C G/B And why did we meet in the middle of a war? Am Dsus G What a silly thing for anyone to do
[Verse]
G
Your sister sends her love of courseAnd your mother is the same as ever
C
Diana's piano is getting much betterWell, I say better, I really just mean louder but as she tells me
G That's pretty much the same C Well it makes a change from all of the noise and the sirens
N.C.
And sometimes from all of the silence
G D D7 With six rounds of jingle bells B Em Am D G And we wish you a Merry Christmas even though it is June
[Verse]
And it's been a long summer
G Cmaj9 But she wants to be perfect for her older brother
She hopes you'll be home again soon
N.C.
No
C Dsus D She knows you'll be home again soon Am/E And it's fine Em And we're fine G It's nice to watch her get better with time
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I suppose they just miss youI know they just miss you
Am C D5 And I'm not going to argue with that
[Chorus]
Em G/D C G/B And why did we meet in the middle of a war? Am Dsus G What a silly thing for anyone to do
[Bridge]
Bm/F# Em D C G And I'm trying my best to write everything down Em D C G To fill in the gaps so that when you're around C Em Dsus D It'll be like you've never been gone C G Dsus D As if you'd been here all along Cadd2 Em D5 'Cause you can't just miss out on the songs
[Interlude]
Bm And to tell you the truth Tom Cadd2 G Your roses aren't thriving Bm Without you they're dull Cadd2 G Don't worry they're surviving Bm Cadd2 Dsus G But I've tried all the tricks that you put in your note Bm Cadd2 And I've watered the soil Dsus Em 'Till it started to float Em Bm And no I've not talked to them Em Bm I'm not going to talk to them Bm Cadd2 Dsus G There's something you have, that I just don't have Am G/B And since you're off gallivanting Cadd2 Dsus Am It's only fair that you know G/B Cadd2 Dsus Am That your roses quite frankly were the first things to go G/B Cadd2 And no you're not gallivanting Dsus Am I don't mean gallivanting G/B Cadd2 Dsus Am It's just frustrating for you to be right G/B Cadd2 Dsus Am When I have to do both the sides of this fight G/B Cadd2 But it's good to hear you Dsus Even just in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd2
And the roses just miss youI know they just miss you
Am Cadd2 Dsus And I'm not going to argue with that Am Cadd2 Dsus There's so much to do when you come back
[Bridge]
Em D C G And I know that they say that it's all for a cause Em D C G Our brave boys out fighting a war to end wars Em Dsus But it's like they don't see C G/B That when you're far from me Am G/B C Dsus Our roses don't get the conversation they need C Which just seems unfair Em/B Dsus I'm stuck here and you're there
[Pre-Chorus]
C I suppose I just miss you C I know I just miss you D/F# Em D5 B5 C#11 Even now I still miss you
[Chorus]
Em Dsus C G/B And why did we meet in the middle of a war? Am Gsus G5 What a silly thing for anyone
