[Intro]  G D G D Cadd2

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
    C              G            Em        Bm   
Which represent my feelings And tells you how..
(spoken)
Oh man I'm in trouble
           Am/C  D              G
When words fail  What will I do'
           Am/C  D               Em      Bm
When words fail  How will she know how I feel'
           Am/c       D         Csus2
When words fail  Will I fail too'

Gadd2       D       Gadd2         D      Cadd2
Hello fair princess   Oh look the moon   Is out tonight
    Gadd2             Cadd2    Gadd2             Cadd2
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'
(spoken)
Oh where I am going with this

Am/C  D              G
When words fail  What will I do'
           Am/C  D               Em      Bm
When words fail  How will she know how I feel'
           Am/c       D         Csus2
When words fail  Will I fail too'

            G                  Cadd2             G
Do I have a snowball's chance'  Are my prospects just too grim'
  Em                         G/D           Cadd2   G/Bb     D
I spent my life stuck in the mud  Now I'm crawling out on a limb

         Am/C        D           G   C/G  G   
If words fail She'll know what I mean
         Am/C        D            Em 
If words fail She'll just take my hand
                 Bm
She sees me like no one else has
                Cadd2
If words fail   She'll understand
             Cadd2   Dadd2   G
She'll understand
