I Should Have Sent Roses
Leon Russell / Bernie Taupin

Am - F	Am - F	Dm - E7

		     Am
Are you standing outside?
G		   F
Looking up at the sky
Em		    Dm
Cursing a wandering star
E7		F
Well if I were you
Dm        E7		Am
I'd throw rocks at the moon
G	 F	      Em       Dm
I'd say "Damn you wherever you are"

E7		       Am
I don't know where to start
F     G		     Am		G
This cage 'round my heart
       F	 C/E	   Dm	Em
Locked up what I meant to say
	F	C/E	  Dm	Em
What I felt all along the way
      F
Just wondering how come
 G				E7
I couldn't take your breath away

		    F
'Cause I never sent roses
Dm	E7     Am
I never did enough
G		      F
I didn't know how to love you
Dm		       E7
Though I loved you so much
			F
And I should have sent roses
Dm   E7		    Am
When you crossed my mind
    G        F
For no other reason
Dm		       E7
Than the fact you were mine
		   Am
I should have sent roses

Am - F	  Dm - E7

		   Am
Looking back on my life
G		  F
If fate should decide
Em		  Dm
I could do it all over again
E7		  Am
I'd build no more walls
G		    F
I'd stay true and recall
    Em			    Dm
The fragrance of you on the wind

E7		       F
You'll get better than me
Dm  E7		Am
Someone who can see
G	       F
Right from the start  
      Em	    Dm
Giving all that you need
	 E7
And I'll slip away
F		     G			E7
Knowing I'm half the man I should be

repeat chorus

Am - G - F - Em - Dm - E7

		      Am
Yeah should have sent roses
