[Verse]
D          A           Bm          A        G
Here we go once again, You've been gone and here you stand
D                 A               G      A Bm A/C#
With a dozen 'I'm sorrys' in your hand | / |
D              A              Bm         A         G
Victim of your potent charms, I took you back with open arms
D                  A              G      A
But along with the roses came the thorns

[Chorus]
    Bm     A/C# D         A    Bm    A    G
And that's why red roses just won't work now
D                           A  Bm   A      G
'Cause you've done too much to talk things out
D                     A                       Bm             A      G
You could tell me you love me, but that's the one thing I'll always doubt
D         A               D
Red roses just won't work now

[Verse]
D                   A            Bm         A        G
Gone for good's the trust I had, you led me down the garden path
D             A                 G      A Bm A/C#
Just too many times to take you back | / |
D                 A             Bm       A         G
So faithless love why don't you save the roses for you know who
D              A                G    A
I already know how long they'll last

[Chorus]
    Bm     A/C# D         A    Bm    A    G
And that's why red roses just won't work now
D                           A  Bm   A      G
'Cause you've done too much to talk things out
D                     A                       Bm             A      G
You could tell me you love me, but that's the one thing I'll always doubt
D         A               G
Red roses just won't work now

[Outro]
            D/A       A               D     G D
No darlin', red roses just won't work now
