F#m B
When the garden's flowers, baby, are dead
F#m B F#m
Yes, and your mind, your mind is so full of red
 
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
Yeah but in your head, baby
I'm afraid you don't know where it is
 
Tears are running, they're all running down your breast
And your friends, baby, they treat you like a guest
