The Gardener

G                       Em
I sense a runner in the garden
C                                 D
Although my judgement's known to fail
G                              Em
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
C                          D
Cos I'd forgotten how to sail

C             D                 G
I know the runner's going to tell you
C             D                 G
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
C             D                 G
So now he's buried by the daisies
C                              D                 G
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe

G                       Em
I sense a spy up in the chimney
C                                 D
From all the evidence I've burned
G                       Em
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
C                          D
And soon to ashes I'll return

C             D                 G
I know the spy is going to tell you
C             D                 G
It's not my flag up in the pole
C             D                 G
So now he's buried by the lilies
C                              D                 G
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe

G                       Em
I sense a leak inside my phone now
C                                 D
From all the lies I have told
G                       Em
I know he has your private number
C                          D
And soon he'll make that vicious call

C             D                 G
I know the leak is going to tell you
C             D                 G
There ain't now puppy in your leash
C             D                 G
So now he'll fertilize the roses
C                              D                 G
So I could stay the king you see In your eyes, babe

C  D           G
In your eyes, babe
In your eyes, babe

G                       Em
So now we're dancing through the garden
C                                 D
And what a garden I have made
G                       Em
And now that death will grow my jasmine
C                          D
I find it soothing I'm afraid

C             D                 G
Now there is no need for suspicion
C             D                 G
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
C             D                 G
I won't be lying when I tell you
C                              D                 G
That I'm a gardner I'm a man In your eyes, babe

C  D           G
In your eyes, babe
In your eyes, babe
