[Verse 1]
(melody variant 1):
            
I've walked th

             
e distance, I 

             
paid my dues a

              
nd tried to ha

      
ve a go
             
at what I thou

             
ght I knew was

            
 real, held no

   
 appeal
            
I've been to p

             
laces, I've se

             
en the tidings

              
, I bought a b

      
ook of rules
            
for every coin

              
 that I could 

                     
steal

[Verse 2]
(melody variant 2):
           
And so I came 

            
to gaze upon t

          
he stars, when

            
 they were yet

 unborn

           
And consequent

[Pre-Chorus]
            
So when I'm cr

Yeah, when I'm

            
 cold as a dyi

 
ng stone

[Chorus]
           
Grow me a gard

         
en of roses
            
Paint me the c

            
olors of sky a

 
nd rain
            
Teach me to sp

Show me the wa

 again

[Instrumental] x2
   

[Verse 3]
(melody variant 1):
I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need,
behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you hide
away the seed

[Verse 4]
(melody variant 2):
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn

[Pre-Chorus]
            
So when I'm cr

           
ying alone
            
Yeah, when I'm

            
 cold as a dyi

 
ng stone

[Chorus]
           
Grow me a gard

         
en of roses
            
Paint me the c

Show me the wa

 again

[Middle 8]
           
Without you I'

             
m nothing at a

And life has t

             
he face of a m

With you nothi

So when I'm cr
