capo 1
F Dm F Dm
Me, and my helmet such an un-conventional kid
F Dm G
All intense and kinetic,
C F
at best tolerated from afar
Dm F Dm
Not yet arrested, and by that I mean betrothed
F Dm G
Though a start I am newly courted
C
I've just not been trusted with alters
F Dm F Dm
I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned yet disturbed
Bb Gm Bb C F
Wrongly labeled and underfed, treated like a rose as an orchid

F Dm F Dm
My friends, as they weigh in, get understandably protective
F Dm G
They have a hard time being objective
C
So inside we cancel each other out
F Dm F Dm
I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned and unloved
Bb Gm Bb C Bb
Unlabeled and misunderstood, treated like a rose as an orchid
C Dm C Bb
You've brought water to me, making sure my bloom rebounds
C Dm C Bb
You know best of what my special care allows
So I've lived in my blind spot
Thought myself usual when I'm not
And your garden is a nice spot
As long as it is brave and where you are
For this sweet piece of work, high maintenance and deserted
I've been different and deserving, treated like a rose as an orchid
Sweet piece of work, overwhelmed un-observed
I've been bowed down to but so misread
Treated like a rose as an orchid
