Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]The[Dm]re's[F][G][C]
a rose
bush in the garden
Been [Dm]there since I was born
That celebrates [G]its age without [C]fear
I touch the velvet petals
And [Dm]smell the breath of angels
And [F]pick the purple [G]roses every [C]year
Now you think you're passed
your prime my sweet [Dm]wo man
Your [F]use- by date is [G]faded [C]and grey
But sad and sorry thoughts
like that [Dm]my darlin'
Is [F]throwin' purple [G]roses

[Interlude 1]
away
[C][Dm][F][G]
[C]

[Verse 2]
You're [C]tired of pretending
that you're [Dm]younger
When gravity is [G]real and here [C]to stay
So you wear your clothes more
easily for com[Dm]fort
[F]You used to be too [G]skinny anyway
[C]

[Verse 3]
Now you're [C]looking in the mirror
A [Dm]picture of your Mother
But [F]you don't see the
[G]woman that [C]I see
Denying grace and pride
the [G]good Lord [Dm]gave you
Is [F]throwin' purple [G]roses [C]away

[Verse 4]
Yeah, [C]sad and sorry thoughts
like that [Dm]my darlin'
Is [F]throwin' purple [G]roses [C]away[F]
