[intro] D A [Verse 1: Tommy Shaw]
        D
So they say that a man

      A
Can't live in this world

        Bm                       Gadd2
If he's wearing his heart on his sleeve

  D      A
I can

         D
And they say that a man

      A
Can't understand

       Bm                   Gadd2
What a woman needs when she cries

     D         A    D
I can, I can
[Chorus: Tommy Shaw & Glen Burtnik]
      D                    Gadd2
And I can see you standing in the yard

Bm          A     G  D/F# Em  A
Tending the roses in your garden

    D              Gadd2                      Asus4 A
The sun is shining through your cotton dress

           D                  Gadd2
And I will freeze this moment here in time

        Bm   A       G  D/F#  Em   D   A
I could live forever in your garden, oh yes

           D  A
Yes I can
[Verse 2: Glen Burtnik (with Tommy Shaw)]
    D
The fool doesn't know

          A
What he's missing the most

       Bm                      Gadd2
It's a bitch and a place to be in

         D    A
Here I am

D
How would I know

        A
I could give up the ghost

          Bm                           Gadd2
And still hold all your dreams in my hand

        D  A       D
Here I am, here I am
[Chorus: Tommy Shaw & Glen Burtnik]
      D                    Gadd2
And I can see you standing in the yard

Bm          A     G  D/F# Em  A
Tending the roses in your garden

    D              Gadd2                      Asus4 A
The wind is blowing through your golden hair

           D                  Gadd2
And I will freeze this moment here in time

        Bm   A       G  D/F#  Em   D   Asus4  A
I could live forever in your garden, oh yes
Yes I can [Solo] D A Bm Gadd2 D A D [Chorus: Tommy Shaw & Glen Burtnik]

And I can be your man
