Rose K

    G
She doesn't know the man
                      D
Who tries to push her wheelchair in 
the sand.
    C
She just looks out to sea.
             Em
He's talking endlessly.

    G
Oh, why won't he shutup?

I take my medicine
  D
I crush the paper cup.
    C
Oh, maybe he's my son
                   Em
And he's coming to set me free.


    G
She knows that she forgot

That there's a story and she
D
Can't recall the plot.
   C
Of course her family fought
         Em
Over the furniture.


    G
Oh, I don't know why they
                  D
Have taken all my favorite things 
away.

    C
But one thing left's for sure
             Em
I don't know what they were.


Am
They say a stone is a marker
                G
And that it has weight.
D
They say it's solid
    D sus4       C
But it can deteriorate.


    G
The air is like a hand
                 D
Reminding her of all the things 
she's planned.
     C
Like air that thought is gone
         Em
Never to come again.


   G
We came out to the beach
                      D
to find the mind I've lost and 
cannot reach.
  C
I used to keep it here.
            Em
It was much cleaner then.


Am
They say a rose is a flower
               G
And that it is red.
D                       D sus4
It blooms, it grows, it wilts
               C
And then it is dead.
