The Garden Was AGreen Then, And The GTrees Grew BmTall
And The Scent Of Vanilla Drifted AThrough It All
DYou Used To Wait Until Her ABack Was GTurned
And You DWould Grab The Bottle And You’d ATake A SipG​
DShe’d Turn Around And See Your AFace And GSay
“See, BmBaby, You Know Better Than DThisA.”

BmMan, You Really Can’t Go AHome Again
