Desert Rose

            C
You need to talk
           Am
And I'm so tired
               C
It's just that I
              Am
Can't bear to see you cry again
            F               G
I wish that you were not forgiving
          C             Am
I need to suffer for my crimes
        F Dm7               G
Time to face this lie we're living
        C
It's 3a.m.
            Am
And I'm not sleeping
              C
Still can't believe
             Am
That I could treat you in this way
            F                G
I count the years as we grow older
              C              Am
We've been pretending for so long
             F Dm7             G     F G
Each passing day my love grows colder

C    G             F        G      C
Your heart is in a cold and lonely place
    G            F         G       C       G
The wind and the rain spit in your perfect face
            F         G
when did we fall from grace
   F        C      G
My lonesome desert rose

C                             Am
Now I'm whistling down the avenue
                                         C
"It's only love" and I've got rain in my shoes
                           Am
And these cigarettes don't help
                                      F                 G
My waitress says mister you've got to laugh to keep from crying
              C                   Am
You look like hell, this one's on me
       F             Dm7             G  F G
Then I realise I can smile occasionally


C    G             F        G      C
Your heart is in a cold and lonely place
    G            F            G    C       G
The wind and the rain spit in your perfect face
            F         G
when did we fall from grace
   F        C      G
My lonesome desert rose

D    A             G        A      D
Your heart is in a cold and lonely place
    A            G         A       D       A
The wind and the rain spit in your perfect face
            G         A
when did we fall from grace
   G        D      A
My lonesome desert rose
