Bon Jovi – Wildflower
written by Jon Bon Jovi
Intro: G | D | Am | C
Verse 1:
G D
She wakes up when I sleep,
Em D C
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
G D
If you don’t follow what I mean,
Em D C
I sure don’t mean to be confusing
C
They say when she laughs she wants to cry
D
She’ll draw a crowd then try to hide
Em D C
Don’t know if it’s her or just my mind I’m losing
Chorus:
G C
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
Em
By the side of the road
Am7 C D
And she don’t need to need like the roses
G
Wildflower
Verse 2:
(G) D
That girl’s sure got a spell on me
Em D C
Yeah, her voodoo’s hidden right behind her pocket
G D
If she’s fire, I’m gasoline
Em D C
Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it
C D
Well, she’ll tell you she’s an only child until you meet her brothers
Em D C
Swear she’s never met the man she couldn’t make into a lover

Chorus:
G C
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
Em
By the side of the road
Am7 C D
And she don’t need to need like the roses
G
She’s at home with the weeds
C
And just as free as a night breeze
Em
She’s got the cool of a shade tree
Am7 C D
She’s growing on me and I can’t live without her
Bridge:
Em Am
Yesterday’s a memory, tomorrow’s accessory
C
That’s her favorite quote about regret
Em
Well, she’ll tell you ‘bout her pedigree
Am C D
With a sailor’s mouth he would have left at sea and it ain’t over yet
Solo:
G | D | Em | C G | D | Am | C
No, no, Nobody Knows Nobody
Chorus:
G C
Knows a wildflower still grows
Em
By the side of the road
Am7 C D
And she don’t need to need like the roses, the roses
G
She’s at home with the weeds
C
And just as free as a night breeze
Em
She’s got the cool of a shade tree
Am7 C D
She’s growing on me and I can’t live without her
G D Am
But nobody knows, nobody knows,
C G D Am C
No, no, nobody knows, nobody knows,
G D
She wakes up when I sleep,
Em D C
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
For my wildflower Maren
