You told me not to give my heart away

You were right and I was wrong
D                               Bm       E
I should have known, I couldn't make you stay

So goodbye   my red rose

Your memory      won't fade away
A    C#m  Bm   E  A
When the  curtain falls
   D    C#m Bm    A  E        Bm
We know you won't be back for more

I wonder where you hang your clothes
But on this I never dwell too long
I asked around but no one knows
I should have known that would be your way
Not to, not to say

So goodbye my red rose
In the spring your scent will grow
There's no more curtain calls
And the man has put all the chairs away

So goodbye my red rose
There's no more, no more curtain calls
