Between The Roses

        C                          
If you ever feel like I did when 
   D
you slip between the cracks
      G                          
Maybe then you'll see how nothing 
         Em
stays in tact
   C                           D
And when my life is over maybe you 
can understand
                    G         
That I planned everything, but 
                 Em
nothing went as planned
             Am                    
It's nothing personal, I just want 
D
you to know
                G
I tried to understand

( G  Em  Am  D  G  D )
( G  Em  Am  D  G  D )

D            G                   
You tortured me with the silence 
        Em
in your throat
                 Am         
And you tortured me with the 
                   D
stillness in your bones
               G                   
You kicked the chair from 
     Em
underneath my feet
                       Am        
You must have seen the noose made 
                         D
out of roses that I wore to 
guarantee
                  G           
That you couldn't go, that you 
          Em
wouldn't leave me all alone
             Am                    
Cause if you did, you'd see my body
         D
 hanging just above the floor
         G                         
Beside a note, to tell the world 
  Em
how terrible it was
           Am                      
To fall in love with someone 
     Em
capable of cutting out my tongue
   C                  D           
Of cutting out my, of cutting out 
   G
my tongue

                 D               
So did you just forget, or do you 
             Em
really not remember
                    C              
The bullets that we took so we 
             G
could stay alive forever

                 D                 
And did you just forget, or do you 
           Em
really not remember
                   C               
The poison that we drank, so that 
                  G
at least we'd die together

( Em  Am  D  G  D )

G    D          G               Em
It's comforting to fall asleep alone
          Am                       
And it's comforting because it's 
             D
all I've ever known
            G            Em
If I should die before I wake
          Am                     
I pray to God my soul will find a 
         D
peaceful place
            G                  Em
Between the roses, between the roses
            Am                     
Because the earth is only pretty 
     D
for so long
            G                  Em
Between the roses, between the roses
             C              Am    
You were the only one I'll trust 
       D         G
to sing along
   Em               D              
To sing between the roses, sing my 
G
song

                 D               
So did you just forget, or do you 
             Em
really not remember
                    C              
The bullets that we took so we 
             G
could stay alive forever
                 D                 
And did you just forget, or do you 
           Em
really not remember
                   C               
The poison that we drank, so that 
                  G
at least we'd die together

G
As the sun went down, our hearts 
were heavy
Em
We knew it was time, but I was not 
ready
Am
To let you go, to say goodbye
D
To a love I thought would never die
G
You were quiet as hell and you 
looked so sad
     Em
As I kissed your lips with my 
regrets
Am
In hopes that maybe we'd pretend
D
Forever never had to end

G
La, la, la, la, la
Em
La, la, la, la, la la la la
  Am
That maybe we'd pretend
 D
Our hope had died, but our love's 
not dead

   C                               
So grab your black umbrella and 
       D
make your way down to the graveyard
             G                     
Where you'll find the tree to which
             Em
 I tied this rope
    C                              
And nothing is for certain, that's 
    D
the only thing I know
        G                          
But I'm certain that it's time for 
      Em
me to go
                Am              
It's nothing personal, it simply 
 D
hurts to know
               G
That I will be alone
