Intro:

G


Verse 1:
G
Took the first flight I could get home
         C
Checked in to the front desk

Walked up to your floor
G
Shared a couple bites of cheesecake
         C
Talked about the summers

We spent on your porch



Pre-Chorus:
     Am
You were tryin' not to cry for me

And I was tryin' not to cry for you
     C
Yeah, you really, really were the best

But you left way too soon



Chorus:
G               C
 Oh, dear, I miss you all the time
              Am
I wish we'd never said goodbye

Like daisies in the dirt
  A/B C
The most beautiful flowers
             G
Always get picked first



Verse 2:
G
We were sittin' in the silence
       C
Listenin' to voices over the TV
G
I was starin' out the window
       C
Holdin' on to your hand

Didn't wanna leave



Pre-Chorus:
     Am
You were tryin' not to cry for me
     Am
And I was tryin' not to cry for you
A/B    C
 Yeah, you really, really were the best
           G
But you left way too soon



Chorus:
               C
Oh, dear, I miss you all the time
                Am
I wish we'd never said goodbye

Like daisies in the dirt
     C
The most beautiful flowers

Always get picked first
G
 Oh, dear, you left me way too fast
C
 I wish they saved the best for last
Am
 Like daisies in the dirt
     C
The most beautiful flowers
       G      C
Always get picked first
