FF Bb majorBb

Verse 1:
Bb majorBb       A minorAm
Only a few old petals left
    Bb majorBb           A minorAm
On the rose that touched your hand
Bb majorBb          FF
My little heart is a graveyard
    Bb majorBb    FF
It's a no man's land

Verse 2:
Bb majorBb
            FF
You could tell I didn't care,
Bb majorBb            FF
You kept pushing till I did
Bb majorBb         FF        DmDm
Woke up in a pit of despair on your bed
   C majorC
And I wondered how I could do without you
            Bb majorBb     FF
How absurd, how absurd, how absurd

Verse 3:
Bb majorBb           FF
Put my lipstick back on,
Bb majorBb          FF
Look myself in the eye
Bb majorBb           FF     DmDm
I'm heading out in the cold hard world
   C majorC
And I'm getting very good at saying my goodbyes
    Bb majorBb      FF
My goodbyes, my goodbyes
    G minorGm Bb majorBb    FF
My goodbyes, my goodbyes

Verse 4:
Bb majorBb        A minorAm
Can you read the inscription?
Bb majorBb          A minorAm
It seems to once have said
Bb majorBb           FF
He better take me with him
Bb majorBb            FF
When he goes I'm good as dead

Verse 5:
Bb majorBb
               FF
Put some roses on the stones,
Bb majorBb            FF
Look your friends in the eye
Bb majorBb               FF     DmDm
If nothing else we've got that old second line
C majorC
And I'll dance at your funeral if you dance at mine
     Bb majorBb         FF
You dance at mine, you dance at mine
      G minorGm Bb majorBb       FF
You dance at mine, you dance at mine

Verse 6:
Bb majorBb                FF
They took it all and I don't care,
Bb majorBb           FF
Already said my farewell
Bb majorBb          FF     DmDm
Sweet Palmyra in that old Ninth Ward
C majorC
Have to hit that long road that passes straight through hell
        Bb majorBb           FF
Straight through hell, straight through hell
