Verse
          E                 B          F#
And they seem to know each other very well
     E                  B        G#m    F#        B  E
They speak across the garden and not a soul could tell
         E                F#              B                    E
They can read the summer sky and they can hear the back brook swell
          E                 B     F#   B
And they seem to know each other very well
           E                 B         F#
And they drive up north on sunday afternoons
       E                 B            G#m       F#       B   E
And he buys her wooden windmills and whales and quarter moons
     E                   F#             B                   E
She feeds the birds all winter and she knows them by their tunes
          E                 B      F#     B
And they drive up north on sunday afternoons
 
Chorus 
    G#m  F#m    B         C#m      B      F#
And all summer long, they make the garden grow
B        F#        E
Keep the green so strong
G#m  F#m       B         C#m     B        F#
Oh, wish them well, for standing on their own
 
Verse
         E                 B          F#
And they buried their old dog in their backyard
        E                  B           G#m    F#        B  E
With a fence and plastic roses And St. Francis standing guard
      E                F#              B                E
She speaks of him quite often to this day she takes it hard
          E                B      F#   B
And they buried their old dog in their backyard
 
     E                    B               F#
She brings me plants and flowers all the time
        E                 B       G#m    F#       B   E
And we dig the holes together she has to help with mine
         E               F#               B                   E
When she pats the soil around them oh my god, her eyes can shine
      E                    B      F#     B
She brings me plants and flowers all the time
 
Chorus 
    G#m  F#m    B         C#m      B      F#
And all summer long, they make the garden grow
B        F#        E
Keep the green so strong
G#m  F#m       B         C#m     B        F#
Oh, wish them well, for standing on their own
 
Verse
          E                 B          F#
And they speak about their lives as almost gone
  E                  B         G#m      F#     B  E
Waiting for the sunset from an old and distant dawn
E                F#              B                E
Selling off the land except the part they're living on
        E                B         F#   B
And they speak of their lives as almost gone
 
          E                 B          F#
And they seem to know each other very well
     E                  B        G#m    F#        B  E
They speak across the garden and not a soul could tell
         E                F#              B                    E
They can read the summer sky and they can hear the back brook swell
          E                 B     F#   B
And they seem to know each other very well
