Asus4 The lady isn't A here. Asus2 The message wasn't A clear.
Asus4 She left an hour A ago, Asus2 screamed from the floor A below.

E7 Mother nature never gives in, she A wants you to E sing
But E7 how can I go on just A singing this E song.
My D car's out of E gas A again.

Asus4 You must love someone A else Asus2 or face life by A yourself
Asus4 You may expect A a call. Asus2 She's waiting in the A hall

E7 See the garden grows and it grows, A nobody else E knows
