verse 1:

D Dmaj7	Dsus2 D		G 	G-5
Flowers for Charlie, 	you know		
G6 			G*		E7	E6
	I'm not a 	good GI 	Joe
E			Eadd9		F#*
	Because I 	always aim 	low
	G**	A
And I 	won't 	fight 


verse 2:

D Dmaj7 Dsus2 D		G 	G-5
you		Popularity 	war
G6 			G*		E7	E6
	I'd be a 	clown in the corp
E			Eadd9		F#*
	Taking   	over the        store
	G**	A
It's a 	cop 	out



chorus 1:

F#			Bm
	 I don't wanna  win
	D	G**Em
Your friends   	anymore
		Em7	A
There's a 	world within
F#			G**	A
	But I can't 	call 	out


verse 3:

D 	Dmaj7 Dsus2 D		G 	G-5
Kiss 	me 	quickly	I'm 	in 	a 	
G6 G*		E7 E6		E Eadd9 F#*	
hurry	 And 	I  got 	        worry 	enough
		G	A
Try 	to 	stay around


solo: repeat intro – but not in picking-style, more in struming-chord-style


chorus 2:

F#			Bm
I	Brought you a flower 
D		G**	Em
from the 	other 	side
	Em7	A
It's a 	free 	world
F#			G**		A
	You don't 	have to 	hide


outro: repeat intro and end with a high D-chord

This is how Elliott plays this song.
The intro is maybe not correct  – i have only tabed out the main structure. It is to hard for me, to write it down correctly. I've worked for hours on the intro! Maybe someone can write down a correct version.
He plays also some bass-strings in the intro - but i can't find out which ones he plays.
The verse and chorus chords are correct - i have tabed them out from the "3-26-99 Irving Plaza"-video and "1999-04-13 DV8"-mp3-bootleg.
But maybe the names of some chords are false.

If there are some mistakes, sorry! Write me an e-Mail: demerit [at] gmx.de
