A    D      A
Well this flower is my soul
             D2              A
But it’s not half of what I owe
         D              A               E
I should give you every rose that ever grew
              A         D      A
But take this one here for a start
            D2               A
And you can keep it in your heart
       A            E               A
I have everything I need because of you


[Verse]
           A         D      A
Well if my life was long enough
             D2          A
To pack up everything I love
          A                  A            E
I would do just that and give it all to you
            A   D      A
But it’s impossible to pay
         D2              A
All the things you gave away
         A       E                 A
So this flower I give will have to do


[Chorus]
            A    D      A
Well this flower is my soul
             D2              A
But it’s not half of what I owe
         D              A               E
I should give you every rose that ever grew
              A         D      A
But take this one here for a start
            D2               A
And you can keep it in your heart
       A            E               A
I have everything I need because of you


[Verse]
         A      D       A
All the flowers growing wild
         D2             A
For ten thousand lonely miles
         A             A                 E
It’s not near enough to give you what I should
         A        D       A
So I will owe you for a while
      D2              A
Maybe longer than my time
         A               E         A
I would give you all the world if I could


[Chorus]
            A    D      A
Well this flower is my soul
             D2              A
But it’s not half of what I owe
         D              A               E
I should give you every rose that ever grew
              A         D      A
But take this one here for a start
            D2               A
And you can keep it in your heart
       A            E               A
I have everything I need because of you
       A            E               A
I have everything I need because of you
