Verse 1:
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
Turn the key
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
And step into the blackness
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
Lamplight falls
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
And casts a laughing phantom
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
I imagine your smile
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
And the life that we could share
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
But with the last of my steps
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
I see the truth lying there
Chorus:
DmDm

Dead roses
C majorC

At the bottom of an oubliette
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
Where they beat you 'til you begged to live

You are mine and you were always mine

Now I'm crying over dead roses
C majorC E7E7
I could never let them go
Verse 2:
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
A augmentedA winged beast
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
With horns upon his cranium
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
Slinks away
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
And grinning, makŠµs his way up
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
I grasp the pieces of rose
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
And your raven locks of hair
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
I hear the turn of the key
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7
As I hiss my final prayer

Now I'm crying over dead roses
