Verse

D        A        G         A
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
D         Bm       G   A
Three car garage, her own credit cards
  Bm        A      D         G   A
He pulls in late to wake her up   with a kiss goodnight
      G       D     Em  A
If he could only read her mind she'd say

Chorus
     D         Bm
Buy me a rose, call me from work
    G             A
Open a door for me what would it hurt
      D              G
Show me you love me by that look in your eyes
D          A              D   G A
These are the little things I need the most in my life

Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
D         Bm        G      A
She can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
Bm        A      D    G
Lately she'd try anything to turn his head
A        G          F#m Em
Would it make a difference if she'd said

Chorus

These are the little things I need the most in my life


Bridge


    Bm          A
And the more that he lives, less that he tries
  G           D
To show her the love that he holds inside
    Bm            A
And the more that she gives, the more that he sees
G             A
This is a story of you and me

Verse

         D             Bm
So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
      G           A
To open the door to a heart that I hurt
        D            G
And I hope you noticed this look in my eyes
D              A             D
Cause I'm gonna’ make things right for the rest of your life
         Bm  A
The rest of your life
  G
And I'm gonna’ hold you tonight
D          A              D  G A D
Do all those little things for the rest of your life
