                 F                   G 
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants 
      C               G              F         G 
A three-car garage, her own credit card 
   Am                G            C               F                           G 
He pulls in late to wake her up, with a kiss goodnight 
                 F             C           D 
If he could only read her mind, she'd say 
G        C                  Am 
Buy me a rose, call me from work 
        Dm                         G 
Open a door for me, what would it hurt 
             C                           F 
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes, 
  C                    G                           C                          F G 
These are the little things I need the most in my life 
          C                  G                F             G 
Now the days have grown to years of feelin' all alone 
      C                  G                 F            G 
And she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong 
       Am                G        C           F                     G 
'Cause lately she tried anything to turn his head 
                F                 C       D 
Would it make a difference if she said  
        Am                       G 
And the more that he lives, the less that he tries 
    F                     C 
To show her the love that he holds inside 
         Am                        G 
And the more that she gives, the more that he sees 
  F                                       G 
His is the story of you and me 
                   C                        Am 
So I bought you a rose on the way home from work 
             Dm                      G 
To open the door to a heart that I hurt 
                    C                      F 
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes, 
        C                     G                          C     Am   G 
'Cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life 
     F                           
And I'm gonna hold you tonight  
 C                    G                         C     F   C 
Do all those little things for the rest of your life

And the more that she gives, the more that he sees

His is the story of you and me 
                   C                        Am
