Roses chords by Poets Of The Fall

---Intro:
Em C G D * 2

---Verse 1 (melody variant 1):
Em        C          G            D
I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go
       Em        C   G    D
at what I thought I knew was real, held no appeal
Em       C           G           D
I've been to places, I've seen the tidings, I bought a book of rules
      Em        C    G      D
for every coin that I could steal

---Verse 2 (melody variant 2):
   Em  C   G   D    Em C G        D
And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn

   Em  C    G   D   Em C     G     D
And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn

---Prechorus:
Em      C   G   D
So when I'm crying alone
Em        C    G D
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone

---Chorus:
Em     C    G  D
Grow me a garden of roses
Em       C    G  D
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Em      C       G  D
Teach me to speak with their voices
Em      C      G  D
Show me the way and I'll try again

---Instrumental (as intro)

---Verse 3 (melody variant 1):
I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I
behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you
away the seed

---Verse 4 (melody variant 2):
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn

---Prechorus

---Chorus

---Middle eight:
D  Em      D     C
Without you I'm nothing at all
D  Em      D    C    D
And life has the face of a morbid game
   Em        D   C
With you nothing is impossible
  D      Em    C  Em
It all seems to fit the frame

---Prechorus

---Chorus * 3 with fade on the last one
