Intro:
- (riff)
Bmin7(2)
I sense a runner in the garden
Although my judgment's known to fail
Bmin7(2)
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
Cause I'd forgotten how to sail
(riff)
I know the runner's going to tell you
(riff)
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
(riff)
So now he's buried by the daisies
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe
I sense a spy up in the chimney
From all the evidence I've burned
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
And soon to ashes I'll return
I know the spy is going to tell you
It's not my flag up in the pole
So now he's buried by the lilies
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe
I sense a leak inside my phone now
From all the lies I have told
I know he has your private number
And soon he'll make that vicious call
I know the leak is going to tell you
There ain't now puppy in your leash
So now he'll fertilize the roses
So I could stay the king you see
In your eyes, babe (x2)
Interlude: Dmute (4 Bars) D (4 Bars)
Dmute /C#mute
So now we're dancing through the garden
And what a garden I have made
Dmute /C#mute
And now that death will grow my jasmine
I find it soothing I'm afraid
(riff)
Now there is no need for suspicion
(riff)
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
(riff)
I won't be lying when I tell you
That I'm a gardner I'm a man
(riff)
In your eyes babe (x2)
In your eyes babe.
