Basil

I know you'll be right there, when I walk in through my door
C G C
It's good to have a friend on whom I can count for sure
Bb Dm Bb G
You're ready to go anywhere, you'd cross the world with me
C G C
Why you're so kind I don't know, it's just a mystery

You ask for all but nothing, and you give without complaint
You put up with my dirty shoes, and my door with peeling paint
I put you on my pizza, and on my caprese salad
I put you on my doorstep, and I put you in my ballad

You only cost four buck plus tax, at the grocery store
You've really grown on me since then, you're worth at least two more
I try to think of life without you; the truth is that I can't
So if you die, I'll have to buy, another basil plant

Your leaves are turning brown, and your stem is looking lilty
It must be partly my fault, I sure feel a little guilty
There's more I could have done, to make sure you didn't die
I wish that you'd come back to life give me another try
