Flowers From 1970

Verse:
D
One Day a Man From 1970 Gave Me a Call
Bm
He Had Dirty Blonde Hair
Bm
And Compared To Me He’s Pretty Tall
G
He Had Lime Green Eyes
G
And Bigger Hands I Wish That I Could Hold
A
And We’d Spend 8 In The Evening
A
Talking On The Telephone
D
He’s So Full Of Himself And
D
Likes Making Sadistic Jokes.
Bm
But There’s Something That I’m So In love
Bm
With In The Way He Spoke
G
And The Way He Draws,
G
The Way He Sings Along To His Guitar
A                               A
If Only The Distance Between Us Wasn’t So That Goddamn Far.

Chorus:
D
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Bm
And He Makes Me Feel So Special, I Love It Whenever He
G
Compliments Me, Tries To Hide The Fact That He’s Obsessed With Me
A
Went Through Trouble, Sending Me Flowers From 1970


D
As I'm falling for him more and more,
D
The more it'll hurt the day he leaves
Bm                                   Bm
And when I hear his voice it's like it's straight out of a dream
G                              G
I would do things for him that completely messes my routine
A                             A
so even just for a minute it'd feel like he's right next to me


D                                  D
I would take time out of busy days so I could hear his laugh
Bm                                 Bm
listen to his favorite songs while staring at his photograph
G                                   G
I needed him, I wanted him, right person but wrong time
A                              A
and on September 9, the telephone cord cut the line


D                         D
but you said it yourself, flowers from 1970
Bm                          Bm
couldn't last that long and you were my flower
G                           G
and for one last time I said "goodbye old man"
A                                  A
you said "you take care of those flowers, wrong number."

Chorus:
D
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Bm
And He Makes Me Feel So Special, I Love It Whenever He
G
Compliments Me, Tries To Hide The Fact That He’s Obsessed With Me
A
Went Through Trouble, Sending Me Flowers From 1970

Interlude: D Bm G A

Chorus:
D
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Bm
and he made me feel so special but it broke me when he
G
asked for closure, proof that in 1970, a man
A
who didn't even exist yet had loved me.


D                       D
you said you just can't have your heart in 2020 with me
Bm                       Bm
when your heart belongs there in 1970
G                                   G
maybe in another life we'd do the things we couldn't do
A                              A
so I'd hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you.


D
One Day a Man From 1970 Gave Me A Call.
Bm                             Gbm
Now My Only Memories Of Him Are Handprints On The Wall.
G
And That Faded Green Paint 3 Familiar Words Were Written Under
         A
Once Upon a Time, Same Room, Same House, 50 Years Apart.

We Have Loved Each Other
