Chords with lyrics

Sorry guys, I don't know any of the picking patterns and the chords aren't perfect. It's just a
simple way of playing the song soooo yeah. Enjoy :)


    C majorC               D MajorD
If you ever feel like I did when you slip between the cracks
   G+G                  E minorEm
Maybe then you?ll see how nothing stays in tact
  C majorC              D MajorD
And when my life is over maybe you can understand
          G+G             E minorEm
That I planned everything, but nothing went as planned
       A minorAm          D MajorD   (stop)
It?s nothing personal, I just want you to know
        G+G
I tried to understand

G+G E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD G+G D MajorD X2

D MajorD      G+G              E minorEm
You tortured me with the silence in your throat
         A minorAm              D MajorD
And you tortured me with the stillness in your bones
        G+G            E minorEm
You kicked the chair from underneath my feet
            A minorAm                 D MajorD
You must have seen the noose made out of roses that I wore to guarantee
         G+G           E minorEm
That you couldn?t go, that you wouldn?t leave me all alone
       A minorAm               D MajorD
Cause if you did, you?d see my body hanging just above the floor
     G+G              E minorEm
Beside a note, to tell the world how terrible it was
      A minorAm              E minorEm
To fall in love with someone capable of cutting out my tongue,
  C majorC         D MajorD       G+G
Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue

         D MajorD              E minorEm
So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
          C majorC              G+G
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
         D MajorD              E minorEm
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
          C majorC   (stop)             G+G
The poison that we drank, so that at least we?d die together

E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD G+G D MajorD

G+G  D MajorD     G+G        E minorEm
It?s comforting to fall asleep alone
     A minorAm                  D MajorD
And it?s comforting because it?s all I?ve ever known
      G+G      E minorEm
If I should die before I wake
     A minorAm               D MajorD
I pray to God my soul will find a peaceful place
      G+G         E minorEm
Between the roses, between the roses
      A minorAm             D MajorD
Because the earth is only pretty for so long
      G+G         E minorEm
Between the roses, between the roses
       C majorC       A minorAm      D MajorD     G+G
You were the only one I?ll trust to sing along
  E minorEm        D MajorD       G+G
To sing between the roses, sing my song

         D MajorD              E minorEm
So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
          C majorC              G+G
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
         D MajorD              E minorEm
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
          C majorC   (stop)             G+G
The poison that we drank, so that at least we?d die together

G+G
As the sun went down, our hearts were heavy
E minorEm
We knew it was time, but I was not ready
A minorAm
To let you go, to say goodbye
D MajorD
To a love I thought would never die
G+G
You were quiet as hell and you looked so sad
   E minorEm
As I kissed your lips with my regrets
A minorAm
In hopes that maybe we?d pretend
D MajorD            (stop)
Forever never had to end

G+G
La, la, la, la, la
E minorEm
La, la, la, la, la la la la
 A minorAm
That maybe we'd pretend
 D MajorD                   (strum slowly over all strings)
Our hope had died, but our love?s not dead

  C majorC                   D MajorD
So grab your black umbrella and make your way down to the graveyard
       G+G                 E minorEm
Where you?ll find the tree to which I tied this rope
  C majorC                 D MajorD
And nothing is for certain, that?s the only thing I know
    G+G                E minorEm
But I?m certain that it?s time for me to go
        A minorAm        D MajorD
It?s nothing personal, it simply hurts to know
        G+G
