You've pEracticed and rehearsed
But C#min your heart you know
It's F#mtoo late. A B
FmExperience should tell you
BNever get your story tAoo sEtraight.
You'd Abetter steel yourself
And prG#mepare for
Some C#mblues to deF#mscend
'Cause you've bAroken something this time
BStoplight roses can't Emend.
You've Edusted off your shame face
In the C#mmirror behind the bathroom Fmdoor. A B
That F#mlittle-boy-lost look
That Bused to work so well
Doesn't AanyEmore.
If Ayou believe your same-old used-toG#m-be
Will C#msee you F#mthrough
You'll Alast about as long as Bstoplight roseEs do.
EStoplight F#Mroses
BIn their sad aErray.
Love's promise in Acellophane lace
BOr dead giveEaway?
AYou'll need time to dG#mevise
C#mA stylish F#mplan
And you'll Ado it driving over Bto
The stoplight roses Eman.
EAnd if Ayou believe your same-old used-to-G#mbe
Will C#msee you F#mthrough
You'll Alast about as long aBs stoplight roses Edo.
