Black Roses

	  		


verse 1: 
               Dbm               A 
I can see your eyes staring into mine.  
                 E                             B 
But it's a battlefield and you're on the other side. 
                   Dbm                  A 
You can throw your words sharper than a knife. 
             E                        B 
And leave me cold in another house on fire. 
Dbm   A        E                          Abm 
I lay low, lay low, and watch the bridges burn. 
Dbm   A        E                           Abm 
I lay low, lay low, what more could I have done? 

Chorus: 
Dbm                         A 
Now you only bring me black roses. 
         E                                Abm 
And they crumble in the dust when they're held. 
Dbm                         A 
Now you only bring me black roses 
           E 
under your spell. 

verse 2: 
            Dbm                   A 
She told me twice, all her good advice. 
               E                         B 
But I couldn't see I was clouded by your lies. 
        Dbm                     A 
You can smoke, a vision she foretold. 
               E                              B 
She said stay away 'cause that boys a warning sign. 
Dbm   A        E                          Abm 
I lay low, lay low, and watch the bridges burn. 

Chorus: 
Dbm                         A 
Now you only bring me black roses. 
         E                                Abm 
And they crumble in the dust when they're held. 
Dbm                         A 
Now you only bring me black roses 
           E 
under your spell. 

Bridge: 
Abm     Dbm 
And I'm done try'na be the one, 
A                        E 
picking up the broken pieces. 
Abm     Dbm               
And I'm done try'na be the one, 
           A 
who says I love you dear. 
           E   Abm 
But I'm leaving. 

Chorus: 
Dbm                         A 
Now you only bring me black roses. 
         E                                Abm 
And they crumble in the dust when they're held. 
Dbm                         A 
Now you only bring me black roses 
                       E 
but I'm not under your spell, 
                   Abm 
I'm not under your spell, 
                   Dbm 
I'm not under your spell, 
                   A 
I'm not under your spell, 
                   E  Abm 
I'm not under your spell. 

Dbm  A    E 
Oooooooh, oooh,  

Abm - Dbm -  
A - E 
oooooooh
