VERSE  
                 Am                F  
I can see your eyes staring into mine  
                      C  
But it's a battlefield  
                                      G  
and you're on the other side  
Am                                          F  
You can throw your words sharper than a knife  
                        C  
And leave me cold  
                          G  
In another house on fire  
REFRAIN  
Am    F             C                       Em       
I lay low, lay low, and watch the bridges burn  
Am    F             C                Em     E  
I lay low, lay low, what more could I have done?  

Chorus  
Am                                F  
Now you only bring me black roses  
                  C                        Em  
And they crumble in the dust when they're held  
Am                               F  
Now you only bring me black roses  
            C      Em       E  
Under your spe  
     Am                                 F  
She told me twice, all her good advice  
                  C  
But I couldn't see  
                           Em  
I was clouded by your lies  
     Am                              F  
Up in smoke, a vision she foretold  
                C   
She said stay away  
                            Em    E  
'cause that boy's a warning sign  

REFRAIN  

Am    F             C                Em     E  
I lay low, lay low and watch the bridges burn  

Chorus  
Am                                  F  
Now you only bring me black roses  
                  C                            Em  
And they crumble in the dust when they're held  
Am                                  F  
Now you only bring me black roses  
              C      Em       E  
Under your spell  

BRIDGE  
Em                            Am  
And I'm done try'na be the one  
F                              C  
Picking up the broken pieces  
Em                            Am  
And I'm done try'na be the one  
                       F  
Who says I love you dear  
        C     Em  
But I'm leaving  

Chorus  
Am                                    F  
Now you only bring me black roses  
                  C                          Em  
And they crumble in the dust when they're held  
Am                             F  
Now you only bring me black roses  
                            C  
But I'm not under your spell  
                     Em  
I'm not under your spell,  
                       Am  
I'm not under your spell  
                          F  
I'm not under your spell  
                 C       Em  
I'm not under your spell  
Am       F        C  
Oooooooh, oooh  

Em     Am    F     C
