[Em]Dyou know whats a pitty
[G]The kids arent kids in[D7] this big city

[D7]While the lads are on the pull

[CHORUS]
Coz you don't just[Am] look at a flower
An t[C]ell it to grow
Coz youve[F] got to take the time
Unt[G]il the petals show

An its[Am] stiff at the stem
But p[C]retty at the top
But you [F]have to just stay strong
Just [G]promise you wont stop[G] [F#] [F] [C]

[VERSE]
[C]Dyou know whats sad
[Em]Dyou know whats a pitty
[G]The dust has only just settled in [D7]this windy city
[C]Your eyes are red raw
[Em]Lets settle for a draw
[G]But as soon as i leave
[D7]The tears begin to pour
