Verse 1:
          G
It's a beautiful day
            G
She's been cryin' all night oh
          Am7
There's tears in her blues
       Am7

                         G
if you cut off the the thorns
     D/F#          Em7
she can't take no more
            Am7
I'll buy violets and dasises
     D/F#
to hide all of the crazy
       G        D/F#       Em7
it's gonna take all you've got

she's gone to her moms
         D/F#                     D/F#

To tell me I took the best years of her life
