Stolen Roses

Am                          C     
There once was a time when I was a
 Am
 girl
              G             Am
That darkness hunged in my sky
                    C           
I was old before I learned to be 
  Am
young
                       G           
Just don't call till I learn how to
 Am
 cry

        C                       
and the weeds in the ground have 
       G
grow up through my skin
    C                       E
forsaking a lonesome girl's heart
     Am                     C  
I will go where the stolen roses 
   Am
grow
                 E          Am
to forget that I have fell apart

                        C          
the thorns on the roses cut through
     Am
 my skin
                   G           
the vultures flew down and then 
   Am
parted
                                C  
what lay on the surface was a tiny 
  Am
crack
                 G        E
and below was a gigantic wreck
     C                       G
so I held my head down and I dealt 
with the blows
  C                      E        
In hope that I'd soon be free to 
Am                  C     Am
go where the stolen roses grow
                 E      Am
to forget I have bad memory
