Refrain

A I will not wear a buttercup for you E I will not dine on wine and cheese with you F#m I will not share my life D With any other love A He worked his tiny hands unto the bone E He died despairing, wretched, and alone F#m D I will not rouse my heart till we reunite above

Verse 2

F#m Poor Louise's family A They shook their headed and pleaded ceaselessly D Oh daughter, there is so much more to see Bm In this fascinating world F#m Your nest is derelict and disarrayed A Alone you sit in darkness every day D Bm It breaks our hearts to see your sadness, silly girl

Chorus 2

A You didn't care when he was still alive E You didn't care to help us grow and thrive F#m D You didn't care, you calmly left it up to fate A We worked our weary hands unto the bone E We tried, he broke, he died, I'm left alone F#m D You didn't care and now it simply is too late.
