Austin Collins - Roses Are Black
Intro: Cadd9Cadd9 G+G E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Laughs in the mirror, cries now and then
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD
Ten miles from home in the rain
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
She'd like to call him but he's always gone
Ca99 G+G D MajorD
He's fallen for something and not someone
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Dreams are like driving, hope is surreal
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD
Each time they kiss she knows just how he feels
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Not even close to what she wanted, reciprocation's forgone
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD
And she's left with sounds on the road
Chorus:
E minor 7Em7 G+G
Roses are black
Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD E minor 7Em7 G+G D MajorD
Loving is dying for someone who doesn't deserve
E minor 7Em7 G+G
Finders are keepers
Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD E minor 7Em7 Em/F# G+G
But losing would bring her to you
E minor 7Em7 Em/F# G+G
Bring her to you
Addicted to comfort with a heart that's been hewn
While the noise from the TV fights its way through her room
It's what quitting is to cancer you've got answers in spades
But you go with what's easy 'cause it makes you feel safe
Chorus:
E minor 7Em7 G+G
Roses are black
Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD E minor 7Em7 G+G D MajorD
Loving is dying for someone who doesn't deserve
E minor 7Em7 G+G
Finders are keepers
Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD E minor 7Em7 Em/F# G+G
But losing would bring her to you
E minor 7Em7 Em/F# G+G
Bring her to you
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Some seats are still open but your glass is half full my dear
E minor 7Em7 C majorC Cadd9Cadd9
Leaving is easy once you've decided to listen to what we both hear
Chorus:
E minor 7Em7 G+G
Roses are black
Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD E minor 7Em7 G+G D MajorD
Loving is dying for someone who doesn't deserve
E minor 7Em7 G+G
Finders are keepers
Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD E minor 7Em7 Em/F# G+G
But losing would bring her to you
E minor 7Em7 Em/F# G+G
