Chords with lyrics

Intro: BB B BB B
   (2x) BB EbmEbm BB EbmEbm

   BB				 AbAb
Dead rose, you were once so vibrant
			  F#F#		  DbmDbm
As you stretched out towards the sun
				  AbmAbm F#F#
And spread your pedals wide

To take it all inside
   BB			 AbmAbm	 Eb MajorEb
Dead rose, tried to keep you alive
	AbAb  DbmDbm
But you drank the water dry
		  F#F#	   AbmAbm
And now you?re facing down
F#F#
Your pedals scattered on the ground
  E MajorE	 AbmAbm
But you grew so naturally at first
					 BB
And so this natural death occurs
				EbmEbm
A augmentedA stem in water never lasts as long
			  E MajorE
As roots planted in dirt
					AbmAbm
And although we have had our time
					 BB
It hurts to watch you fade and die
				  EbmEbm
What once was stunning and alive

Becomes so cold and
E MajorE				AbmAbm
Dead rose, I don?t love you anymore

BB EbmEbm BB EbmEbm

BB		AbmAbm
Dead rose, you?re a symbol of the truth
		  F#F#		DbmDbm
Of the love we had for you
	 AbAb	F#F#
How all good things must end and with each death new life begins
BB				AbAb	 EbmEbm
Dead rose, how am I suppose to find
			 DbmDbm
Something equally divine?
	  F#F#	DbDb	F#F#
No matter where I go I plant the seeds but nothing grows
E MajorE					AbmAbm
You grew so naturally at first
					 BB
And so this natural death occurs
				EbmEbm
A augmentedA stem in water never lasts as long
  DbmDbm			E MajorE
As roots planted in dirt
					AbmAbm
And although we have had our time
					 BB
It hurts to watch you fade and die
				  EbmEbm
What once was stunning and alive
				  E MajorE
Becomes so cold and dead inside
		  AbmAbm			  E MajorE
How fleeting is love, how fleeting is life
		  AbmAbm		  	BB
When I came home and shut the door
			  EbmEbm	DbmDbm
I saw your last pedal hit the floor
				AbmAbm			 BB	F#F#
And I was struck by something I?d never felt before
E MajorE				 AbmAbm			AbAb
Dead rose, I don?t love you any more
E MajorE	BB
We?ll look back on the day
		 F#F#				E MajorE
when the dead rose from the grave
				BB
No more sorry and shame
  EbmEbm F#F#	DbDb
The new body and name
				AbmAbm
Nothing perfect will die
				 Eb MajorEb
No more tears in our eyes
				F#F#
No more worries and trials
	E MajorE
We?ll have faith like a child?s
		AbmAbm	BB
When I come through that open door
			EbmEbm	DbmDbm
I?ll finally see you as you really are
			AbmAbm			   BB F#F#
And I?ll be struck by something I?d never felt before
E MajorE			  BB        AbmAbm
Dead rose I will love you forever more
E MajorE			  BB        AbmAbm
Dead rose I will love you forever more
