G         F             G
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
    C          G         F     G
A three-car garage, her own credit card
 Am              G       C           F                G
He pulls in late to wake her up, with a kiss goodnight
           F         C       D
If he could only read her mind, she'd say
 G    C             Am
Buy me a rose, call me from work
    Dm                G
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
      C                 F
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes,
 C              G                    C                F G
These are the little things I need the most in my life
     C           G           F         G
Now the days have grown to years of feelin' all alone
   C            G           F       G
And she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
    Am            G      C        F
'Cause lately she tried anything to turn his head
G              F            C      D
    would it make a difference if she said 
 Refrain 
     Am                G
And the more that he lives, the less that he tries
  F              C
To show her the love that he holds inside
     Am                G
And the more that she gives, the more that he sees
 F                          G
His is the story of you and me
            C               Am
So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
       Dm                G
To open the door to a heart that I hurt
            C                F
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes,
    C             G                  C    Am    G
'Ccause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life
  F
And I'm gonna hold you tonight 
 C               G                  C     F  C
Do all those little things for the rest of your life
