Bm
I have seen your body
D
And I have seen your beauty
A
They are separate things
Em
Pretty, pretty, pretty things
Bm
But I am in a garden
D
Tending to my own
A
So what do I care
A E
And what do you care if I grow?
If I grow
[Chorus]
Bm
Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses
G
(Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses)
A Em
Show no concern for colors of a violet
Bm
Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus
G
(Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus)
A Em
Hopes it won't spark envy in your irises
[Verse 2]
Bm
Think of all the wilted women
D
Who crane their necks to reach a window
A
Ripping all their petals off, just 'cause
Em
"He loves me now, he loves me not"
Bm
I myself was a wilted woman
Drowsy in a dark room
G
Forgot my roots
A
Now watch me bloom
[Chorus]
Bm
Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses
G
(Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses)
A Em
Show no concern for colors of a violet
Bm
Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus
G
(Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus)
A Em
Hopes it won't spark envy in your irises
(Irises)
[Instrumental]
G Em G Em
[Bridge]
G
And I will not compare
Em
Other beauty to mine
G
And I will not become
Em
A thorn in my own side
G
And I will not return
Em
To where I once was
G
Well, I can break through the earth
Em A
Come out soft and wild
[Chorus]
Bm
Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses
G
(Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses)
A Em
Show no concern for colors of a violet
Bm
Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus
G
(Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus)
A Em
Hopes it won't spark envy in your irises
[Outro]
Bm
(Roses, roses, roses, roses)
Bm G
(Roses, roses, roses, roses)
Bm
(Roses, roses, roses, roses)
G
(Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses)
