Saywecanfly - Between the roses

N.C.

If you ^Cever feel like I did when you ^D7slip between the cracks, Maybe ^Gthen you’ll see how nothing ^D/F#stays in ^Emtact, And ^Cwhen my life is over maybe ^D7you can understand, That I planned ^Geverything, but nothing ^D/F#went as ^Emplanned, Cmaj7 D# (stop) It’s nothing personal, I just want you to know, I tried to under^Gstand.

^DYou tortured ^Gme with the silence in your ^Emthroat, And you tortured ^Amme with the stillness in your ^Dbones, You kicked the ^Gchair from underneath my ^Emfeet, You must have seen the ^Amnoose made out of roses that I ^Dwore to guarantee, That you couldn’t ^Ggo, that you wouldn’t ^Emleave me all alone, Cause if you ^Amdid, you’d see my body hanging ^Djust above the floor, Beside a ^Gnote, to tell the world how ^Emterrible it was, To fall in ^Amlove with someone capable of ^D#cutting out my tongue, Gm#5add9 Gm#5add11 G Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue.

So did you just for^Dget, or do you really not rem^Emember, Cmaj7 Gm#5add9 G The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever, D Gm#5add9 Em And did you just forget, or do you really not remember, C Gm#5add9 G The poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die together.

It’s comfor^Gting to fall asleep a^Emlone, And it’s c^Amomforting because it’s all I’ve ever ^Dknown, If I should ^Gdie before I ^Emwake, I pray to ^AmGod my soul will find a peaceful ^Dplace, G Gadd11 G Em Emaddb13 Em Between the roses, between the roses, Because the ^Amearth is only pretty for so ^Dlong, G Gadd11 G Em Emaddb13 Em Between the roses, between the roses, You were the ^Amonly one I’ll trust to sing a^D#long, Gm#5add9 Gm#5add11 G To sing between the roses, sing my song.

So did you just for^Dget, or do you really not rem^Emember, Cmaj7 Gm#5add9 G The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever, D Gm#5add9 Em And did you just forget, or do you really not remember, C Gm#5add9 G The poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die together.

As the ^Gsun went down, our ^D/F#hearts were heavy, Em Gm#5add9 We knew it was time, but I was not ready, To ^Amlet you go, to ^Am7say goodbye, Gm#5add9 Gm#5add11 To a love I thought would never die, You were ^Gquiet as hell and you ^D/F#looked so sad, As I ^Emkissed your lips with ^Em7my regrets, In ^Amhopes that maybe ^Am7we’d pretend, Gm#5add9 D# Gm#5add9 G Forever never had to end.

^GLa, la, la, ^D/F#la, la, La, la, ^Emla, la, la ^Dla la la, ^AmThat maybe we'd pretend, Gm#5add9 D# Gm#5add9 G Our hope had died, but our love’s not dead.

So ^Cgrab your black umbrella and make your ^D7way down to the graveyard, Where you’ll ^Gfind the tree to which I ^D/F#tied this ^Emrope, And ^Cnothing is for certain, that’s the ^D7only thing I know, But I’m ^Gcertain that it’s time for ^D/F#me to ^Emgo, It’s nothing ^Cmaj7personal, it simply ^D#*hurts to know, G D Em C Gm#5add9 That I will be alone.
