Gadd2         D       Gadd2     D      Cadd2
I picked this flower Right over there  Is where it grew
    Gadd2          Cadd2       Gadd2            Cadd2
And I don't really like it But it made me think of you
D            Em    Cadd2
Because it's pretty
Gadd2        Cadd2         Gadd2            Cadd2
Is what I'm trying to say  And you are also pretty
               D     G
But I like you anyway
    Em                Bm              Em         Bm
So please accept this flower With its petals and a stem

Which represent my feelings And tells you how..

You remind me of that moon  Because it's big and bright
     Gadd2              Cadd2  Gadd2                Cadd2
And by big I don't mean chubby Obviously you're not fat
         Em             Bm         C      D        G
But your personality is biggish Is what I meant by that
Em               Bm                    Em           Bm
Sorry 'bout that fat thing, I'm on the hefty side myself
  Cadd2                 G              Em      Bm
I have to blame the gene pool Which reminds me of

Do I have a snowball's chance'  Are my prospects just too grim'

I spent my life stuck in the mud  Now I'm crawling out on a limb

If words fail She'll know what I mean

She sees me like no one else has

If words fail   She'll understand
