(Em) So I guess you broke my (C) heart, (D) back where the dogwood flowers (C) grow

It (G)could have been forever, darling, (D) had we stayed together
But you had to (Em)go, time don't (C) slow
(G) It took you further from your (D)home, back where the dogwood flowers (Em) grow

And so, (Em) I'll see if I (C)see, (D) back where the dogwood flowers (C) grow
(Chorus)
White on the (Em)bloom that April (C)moon
You (G)ain't dead set on leaving when you (D)miss the one you need
