Lori McKenna - Rose Of Jericho
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
He sits still, legs crossed
At the kitchen table, only lost
In his Cgin and tonic and the smell
Of afternoon cigarettes
[Verse 2]
She’s Gmastering the way she dances
In between sideway glances
CWords that would come in vivid colours
If she let them slip off of her lips G
[Verse 3]
Generations handed down
Blame the pain on times they live in
A Cmodern version of his father now
Wasting all these chances life will give him
[Verse 4]
But Gin her way she’s done one better
Coats are made for winter weather
CNeighbour kids play in the street
The sun sinks down below the back yard Gtrees Am
[Chorus]
There’s a cross on the Cside of the road
ReGflecting itself in Dcar a window Am
And where does love Creally go
Maybe Gno one knows, no one Dknows
But somewhere Emstuck inside
It’s too Cproud to die
The rose of GJericho
[Verse 5]
Falling into old routines
That history deems worth repeating
CPrayers that seem to say themselves
Self-help books on dusty shelves
[Verse 6]
If Geverything is temporary
Why should they care how it shines?
The Csimple truth in looks deceiving
Are the blessings in disGguise Am
[Chorus]
There’s a picture they Ctook long ago
In a Gwhite dress and black tuxDedo Am
And where does love Creally go
Maybe Gno one knows, maybe no one Dknows
But somewhere Emstuck inside
It’s too Cproud to die
The rose of GJericho D
[Bridge]
The Rose of Jericho sitsC on a shelf
GWaiting to be watered by Dsomebody else
But it can’t love you withCout a little help
'Cause it Gdon’t know how to love itDself
[Verse 7]
GMoonlight reaches bedroom windows
High above the town below
CYou can’t always count on rain
To water what you need to grow G
