Violets For Roses

Bb
There's something in the air
      Cm                       
The girls are running around in 
           Bb
summer dresses
             Gm
With their masks off
         Dm         Eb
And it makes me so happy

Bb                               
Larchmont Village smells like 
Eb             Bb
lilies of the valley
           F                       
and the bookstore doors are opening
            Eb        F
 and it's finally happening


[Pre-Chorus]

Eb
Ever since I fell out of love
Cm              F                 
With you I feel back in love with 
 Bb
me
     Cm               F
And boy does it feel sweet

Like a summer breeze

Eb
Ever since I fell out of love
Cm                 F             
With you I feel back in love with
     Bb
 the sea
            Eb
Like the Paramount sign sparkling
D             Gm          F
Sparkling just for me


[Chorus]

Bb                      Cm    
You made me trade my violets for 
     Gm
roses
Bb                        D      
You tried to trade my new truck 
   Eb
for Rollses
Bb                          Eb   
Don't forget all of these things 
         Dm
that you love
          Cm                  Eb
Are the same things I hate
Eb                F
The simple life, I chose this

Bb                      Cm    
You made me trade my violets for 
     Gm
roses

Bb                        D      
You tried to take all the pink 
   Eb
off my toes and
Bb                           Eb  
God knows the only mistake that 
        Dm
I'm making
    Cm                     D
Is tryna make a woman change
                           Eb
And trade the violets for roses

Bb         F
Aaah - aah
               D        Eb
Trade the violets for roses
 Bb      F
Aaah - aah


[Verse]

Bb
There's something in the air
   Cm                              
I hope it doesn't change that it's 
    Bb
for real
             Gm
The beginning
         Dm         Eb
Of something big happening

Bb                        Eb 
And by the murder alleys in the 
               Bb
streets have ceased and still
       F                        
the shadows haunt the avenue and 
  Eb        F
silence is deafening

Eb
Ever since I fell out of love
Cm              F                 
With you I feel back in love with 
 Bb
the streets
     Cm               F
And God does it feel sweet

Like a summer breeze

Eb
Ever since I fell out of love
Cm               F         
With you I breakdance to that 
         Bb
backbeat
      Eb
And God does it sound sweet
            D              Gm     
Like it's playing just for me
     F



[Chorus]

Bb                      Cm

Bb                        D      
You tried to trade in my new 
   Eb
truck for Rollses
Bb                          Eb   
Don't forget all of these things 
         Dm
that you love
          Cm                  Eb
Are the same things I hate
