[Intro]
Ab Eb/G Fm7
Db Ab
[Verse 1]
Ab Fm7 I pulled the weeds without a thought, the thorns I cut away, Db Ab Taught my kids that tidy rows would keep the storms at bay. Ab Fm7 My hands were firm, my voice was sure, I thought that strength was grace, Db Ab But mercy never found much room in my well-tended place.
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm Eb Db I taught the rules my father taught, Fm Eb Ab Not seeing all the hurt they brought.
[Chorus]
Ab Fm7 In the garden and the wild, I see their hearts run free, Db Ab Eb Reaching past the lines I drew, outside the fence to be. Ab Fm7 I tried to raise them steady, but now it seems I didn’t really know, Db Eb That love is love is love is love, no matter where it grows.
Ab Eb/G Fm7
Db Ab
[Verse 2]
Ab Fm7 They begged me not to pull the weeds — said, “Dad, they’re living too,” Db Ab I smiled and shook my head and said, “That’s not what gardeners do.”
Ab Eb/G. Fm7
They left to find their own green fields, where nothing’s judged or pruned,
Db Ab Eb/G And I was left with perfect rows, but all the joy was strewn.
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm Eb/G Db I stood alone beneath the sky, Fm Eb Ab And whispered to the earth, “Why try?”
[Chorus]
Ab Fm7 In the garden and the wild, I see their hearts run free, Db Ab Eb Reaching past the lines I drew, outside the fence to be. Ab Fm7 I tried to raise them steady, but now it seems I didn’t really know, Db Eb That love is love is love is love, no matter where it grows.
Ab Eb/G Fm7

[Instrumental]
Ab Eb/G Fm7
Db Ab
[Verse 3]
Ab Fm7 Now I see those weeds were brave, just growing where they could, Db Ab Not rebels, just survivors, misunderstood. Ab Eb/G Fm7 The thorns that once I cursed now bloom, in colors soft and mild, Db Ab Eb/G Their wildness was the lesson, and I’m learning from my child.
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab Eb/G Fm7 The wind reminds me what I’ve found, Db Eb/G Ab That love still grows where rules fall down.
[Chorus]
Ab Fm7 In the garden and the wild, I see their hearts run free, Db Ab Eb Reaching past the lines I drew, outside the fence to be. Ab Fm7 I tried to raise them steady, but now it seems I didn’t really know, Db Eb That love is love is love is love, no matter where it grows.
[Outro]
Ab Eb/G Fm7 In the garden and the wild… Db Ab I see their hearts run free.
