Dead rose, you were once so vibrant
                           F#              Dbm
As you stretched out towards the sun
                                   Abm F#
And spread your pedals wide

To take it all inside
     B                   Abm     Eb
Dead rose, tried to keep you alive
        Ab    Dbm
But you drank the water dry
                   F#        Abm
And now you're facing down
F#
Your pedals scattered on the ground
    E    Abm
But you grew so naturally at first
                                          B
And so this natural death occurs
                                Ebm
A stem in water never lasts as long
                           E
As roots planted in dirt
                                        Abm
And although we have had our time
                                          B
It hurts to watch you fade and die
                                    Ebm
What once was stunning and alive

Becomes so cold and

Dead rose, I don't love you anymore

Dead rose, you're a symbol of the truth
                   F#           Dbm
Of the love we had for you
          Ab    F#
How all good things must end and with each death new life begins
B                               Ab        Ebm
Dead rose, how am I suppose to find
                          Dbm
Something equally divine?
            F#  Db      F#
No matter where I go I plant the seeds but nothing grows
E                                       Abm
You grew so naturally at first
                                          B
And so this natural death occurs
                                Ebm
A stem in water never lasts as long
   Dbm                  E
As roots planted in dirt
                                        Abm
And although we have had our time

What once was stunning and alive
                                   E
Becomes so cold and dead inside
                    Abm                    E
How fleeting is love, how fleeting is life
                   Abm                  B
When I came home and shut the door
                           Ebm  Dbm
I saw your last pedal hit the floor
                                Abm                       B     F#
And I was struck by something I'd never felt before
E                                 Abm                   Ab
Dead rose, I don't love you any more
E       B
We'll look back on the day
                  F#                            E
when the dead rose from the grave
                                B
No more sorry and shame
   Ebm  F#      Db
The new body and name
                                Abm
Nothing perfect will die
                                 Eb
No more tears in our eyes
                                F#
No more worries and trials
        E
We'll have faith like a child's
                Abm     B
When I come through that open door
                        Ebm     Dbm
I'll finally see you as you really are
                        Abm                          B  F#
And I'll be struck by something I'd never felt before
E                           B                Abm
Dead rose I will love you forever more
E                           B                Abm
Dead rose I will love you forever more
