I'll do better than Flowers

(Erin's Song)
Music and lyrics by Rob Oswin

Intro: F C Dm Dm/C Bb Bb/A Gm A7

Dm Dm/C Bb F

A thousand ways to say sorry, that's what I need...

C C/Bb F F Am Bb

For the 20 years you've wondered, whatever happened to me?

I knew you'd ask the question. I knew you'd criticize.

You've never heard the answers, through your Father's eyes.

G/ B F C Dm

And your old enough to know, I've got a story to tell...

Bb C

I let you go... how many years ago? And yes, I know... I know your heart is broken,

D C Dm Bb F C

So I'll do better than flowers. I will write you a song.

F Bb C

So once you believe in me, you can sing along.

F Bb A7 Dm

I'll write the answers you've been struggling to find...

F G

And we can take it... a step at a time

Repeat Intro

Your Mother told me about you, on a full November moon

Three weeks before I'd cut and run, my love was dead and we were done.

I knew nothing about you...

She said, "I'm keeping my baby, I only wanted you to know."

And I was young and so naive,

I bit my tongue and still I bleed cuz' I let go...

PreChorus

Chorus 2:

So I'll do better than flowers, I will write you a song.

And once you've forgiven me, you can sing along.

I'll find the truth, line after line...

And we can take it... a step at a time.

Interlude: F Bb F Bb

Bridge:

Dm Dm/C

I guess its time we face the fact, There's no point in looking back,

G/B

Cuz' there's no photographs of you and me...

Bb F C

But little did you know, you were always on my mind.

That was half a life ago... I have changed, I have grown... Do you still need me?

Girl, we can take it... Take it a step at a time

F Bb

I'll do better than flowers...
