Intro: D  A  D

Verse 1:

D        G            D
Ten days too late you show up

D                          G               A      C
With a sheepish grin and a bouquet in your hand

D        G               D
You make mistakes by the dozen

      G                     A                D
Don't think you can make it up the same way again


Chorus:

G
Flowers after the fact

D                  G
Ain't gonna get me back

D                      G          A
You gotta do something sooner and better than that

G
When you bring red roses

D                   G
There's an ulterior motive

D             A      C D
Don't give me flowers after the fact


Instrumental: G D G D A D


Verse 2:

D          G                 D
No part of your heart's ever in it,

D                              G                A      C
You're just trying to get your foot back in the door

D       G             D
I might feel like you meant it

         G                          A              D
If those long stems had come in the name of love before


Repeat Chorus

G
When you bring red roses

D                   G
There's an ulterior motive

D             A      C D
Don't need no flowers after the fact

D                 A      C D               D G C D  (End thing play D) 
Now don't give me flowers after the fact
