Black Roses

[Verse 1:]
               Dbm              
I can see your eyes staring into 
 A
mine.
                 E                 
But it's a battlefield and you're 
            B
on the other side.
                   Dbm          
You can throw your words sharper 
        A
than a knife.
             E                     
And leave me cold in another house 
   B
on fire.
Dbm   A        E                
I lay low, lay low, and watch 
          Abm
the bridges burn.
Dbm   A        E                
I lay low, lay low, what more 
           Abm
could I have done?

[Chorus:]
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses.
         E                       
And they crumble in the dust when 
         Abm
they're held.
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses
           E
under your spell.

[Verse 2:]
            Dbm                
She told me twice, all her good 
   A
advice.

               E                   
But I couldn't see I was clouded by
      B
 your lies.
        Dbm                
You can smoke, a vision she 
     A
foretold.
               E                   
She said stay away 'cause that boys
           B
 a warning sign.
Dbm   A        E                
I lay low, lay low, and watch 
          Abm
the bridges burn.

[Chorus:]
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses.
         E                       
And they crumble in the dust when 
         Abm
they're held.
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses
           E
under your spell.

[Bridge:]
Abm     Dbm
And I'm done try'na be the one,
A                        E
picking up the broken pieces.
Abm     Dbm
And I'm done try'na be the one,
           A
who says I love you dear.
           E   Abm
But I'm leaving.

[Chorus:]
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses.
         E                       
And they crumble in the dust when 
         Abm
they're held.
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses
                       E
but I'm not under your spell,
                   Abm
I'm not under your spell,
                   Dbm
I'm not under your spell,
                   A
I'm not under your spell,
                   E  Abm
I'm not under your spell.
