Cactus and a Rose

G Sitting up here in this D New York townhouse Em decorated in G7  
greys and  
 
blues and C everybody knows love won't C for a D cactus and a G rose.  
  
 
When that G old wild streak be{D}neath my skin Em sets my craziness G7  
free  
 
again they'll C all say I told you G so. Love won't C grow for a D  
cactus and a  
 
G rose.  C  G 
 
chorus 
Cause I G still like to drink my Em beer and I C still love honky G  
tonks.   
 
Where the Em good ole girls will always dance with you when the C high  
falootin 
 
women D7 won't.  And I'm G locked into a Bm way of life I can't C  
give it up i  
 
G7 know it makes me C sad  love G can't be had for a D7 cactus and a  
 
G rose.   G Em C G Em C D7 G 
 
G Sometimes falling D makes more sense than Em sitting in the middle of  
the  
 
G same old G7 fence your gonna C loose either way G goes love won't  
C  
 
grow for a D cactus and a G rose.  So I'm G sitting up here in this D  
New York  
 
townhouse Em decorated in greys and G7 blues and C everybody G knows  
 
love won't C grow for a D cactus and a G rose.
