    G                        C              G 
Our love is like a tiny seed planted in the ground 
    G                              D               D7 
Absorbing all the goodness and the beauty that surrounds 
   G                       C                G 
We water it with kindness, feed it with our joy 
C                           Em    D               G 
Never has there been such love between a girl and boy

   G                                   D              D7 
It fills my life with sunshine, life's pollen is in flight 
G                        C                  G 
Sadly I'm allergic and I start to cough and sneeze 
C                     Em        D      G 
Fortunately I'm dosed up on antihistermines 

Chorus 
       D                    C               G 
'cause our love is like the flowers and the trees 
    D                 C                  G 
And our love makes me think of birds and bees 
    Em               G  D    C 
Our love is one that lingers ooh 
            D                   G 
But I'm not sure I've got green fingers

     G                               C               G 
Your body's like a green house, it's steamy and it's hot 
     G                                      D              D7 
Some lovely things are growing there though one or two are not 
    G                           C               G 
Now people in these houses they mustn't throw a stone 
    C                           Em     D                 G 
But with your toughened saftey glass I think I'll have a go

Our love is one that lingers ooh

    G                                  D                 D7 
But sometimes there is too much and it starts to smother me 
    G                            C                G 
The texture is intruiging, it's glossy that's for sure 
    C                        Em            D                   G 
It reminds me of the countryside 'cause it smells just like manure

    G                                   D              D7 
You let me go then cut me down and that really hurts a lot 
    G                            C               G 
I'm giving up on gardening, this love has got to go 
       C                          Em           D          G
