And I’ll be the one

in a garden of roses

But will you still love me when nobody wants me around
6 1• (3• – 1) 3• 3• 3• 3
When I turn eighty-one
4• 3• 2• 2 1•
and forget things
1• 3• 2• 1• (2• – 4) 3• (4• – 2)
will you still be proud?

around
3• (3• – 1) 3• 3• 3• 3 4• 3• 2• 2 1•
When I turn eighty-one and forget things
1• 3• 2• 1• (2• – 4) 3• (4• – 2)
will you still be proud?
3• 4• (5• – 1) 5• 5• 3 (5• – 5) 4• 3• 2• (3• – 4) 2• 3• 6
Proud of me and my short list of accomplishments, say
(5• – 1) 5• 5• 3 (5• – 5) 4• 3• (2• – 4) 1• 3• 1• (2 – 5 – 7 – 2•)
And me and my lack of new news
(5• – 1) 5• 5• 3 (5• – 5) 4• 3•
Me and my selfishness,
1• (1• – 4) 2• 3• (2• – 2) 1•

5• (4• – 4) 3• 4• 3• (4• – 2) 1• 1• (3• – 1) 2• 1• (2 – 5 – 7 – 2•)
you nothing but a happy new version of you
1• (3• – 1) 3,
Because I,
3• 2• 1• (2• – 4) 1• 3• 2• 1• (2• – 2) 1•
I mmm,
6 7 (1• – 1) 5 (3 – 1)

I want you to tell me
5• (5• – 1) 1• 1• 5• (5• – 1) 1• 1•
you find it hard to be yourself
(2• – 4) 1• 2• 1• (2• – 2) 1• 3• 2• (5 – 1) 3
so I can say “It’s gonna be alright”
(3• – 1) 2• 5• 4• (4• – 4) 3•
And I want you to love me
5 (5• – 1) 1• 1• 2• (3• – 3) 6 1•
