[Chorus]                           G D/F# Em If you cut off the thorns, she can't take no more          Am D/F# I'll buy violets and daisies to hide all the crazy      G D/F# Em It's gonna take all you've got               Am Ah, it's a bad day for love       D/F# G But a good day for flower shops

[Verse 2]       G Well, I took some pills and she took the dogs          Am Ah, it's all gone to hell, she's gone to her mom's     D/F# And I took up drinkin' since she took the time To tell me I took the best years of her life                            Am D/F# So buddy, I'll take your roses
