[Verse 1: Tommy Shaw]
        D
So they say that a man
      A
Can't live in this world
        Bm                       Gadd2
If he's wearing his heart on his sleeve
  D      A
I can
         D
And they say that a man
      A
Can't understand
       Bm                   Gadd2
What a woman needs when she cries
     D         A    D
I can, I can


[Chorus: Tommy Shaw & Glen Burtnik]
      D                    Gadd2
And I can see you standing in the yard
Bm          A     G  D/F# Em  A
Tending the roses in your garden
    D              Gadd2                      Asus4 A
The sun is shining through your cotton dress
           D                  Gadd2
And I will freeze this moment here in time
        Bm   A       G  D/F#  Em   D   A
I could live forever in your garden, oh yes
           D  A
Yes I can


[Verse 2: Glen Burtnik (with Tommy Shaw)]
    D
The fool doesn't know
          A
What he's missing the most
       Bm                      Gadd2
It's a bitch and a place to be in
         D    A
Here I am
D
How would I know
        A
I could give up the ghost
          Bm                           Gadd2
And still hold all your dreams in my hand
        D  A       D
Here I am, here I am


[Chorus: Tommy Shaw & Glen Burtnik]
      D                    Gadd2
And I can see you standing in the yard
Bm          A     G  D/F# Em  A
Tending the roses in your garden
    D              Gadd2                      Asus4 A
The wind is blowing through your golden hair
           D                  Gadd2
And I will freeze this moment here in time
        Bm   A       G  D/F#  Em   D   Asus4  A
I could live forever in your garden, oh yes

Yes I can
