Bon Jovi – Wildflower
written by Jon Bon Jovi
Intro: | | |
Verse 1:
She wakes up when I sleep,
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
If you don’t follow what I mean,
I sure don’t mean to be confusing
They say when she laughs she wants to cry
She’ll draw a crowd then try to hide
Don’t know if it’s her or just my mind I’m losing
Chorus:
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don’t need to need like the roses
Wildflower
Verse 2:
(G) D
That girl’s sure got a spell on me
Yeah, her voodoo’s hidden right behind her pocket
If she’s fire, I’m gasoline
Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it
Well, she’ll tell you she’s an only child until you meet her brothers
Swear she’s never met the man she couldn’t make into a lover
Chorus:
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don’t need to need like the roses
She’s at home with the weeds
And just as free as a night breeze
She’s got the cool of a shade tree
She’s growing on me and I can’t live without her
Bridge:
Yesterday’s a memory, tomorrow’s accessory
That’s her favorite quote about regret
Well, she’ll tell you ‘bout her pedigree
With a sailor’s mouth he would have left at sea and it ain’t over yet
Solo:
| | | | | |
No, no, Nobody Knows Nobody
Chorus:
Knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don’t need to need like the roses, the roses
She’s at home with the weeds
And just as free as a night breeze
She’s got the cool of a shade tree
She’s growing on me and I can’t live without her
But nobody knows, nobody knows,
No, no, nobody knows, nobody knows,
She wakes up when I sleep,
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
For my wildflower Maren
