Bb Am Em Eb Bb C2 Eb2 Bb C2 Eb2 F [Verse 1]
Bb                     C2
 I'm a junkyard full of false starts

Eb2                        Bb
 And I don't need your permission

   C2       Eb2              Bb         C2
To bury my love under this bare light bulb
[Bridge 1]
Eb   Gm         C      Eb
 The moon is a sickle cell

Gm     C           D
 It'll kill you in time

     Eb         Gm      C           Eb
Your cold white brother riding your blood

D
 Like spun glass in sore eyes
[Chorus 1]
G          Bb        Am    Em                     Eb
 While the moon does its division you're buried below

                     Bb C2  Eb2   Bb       C2
And you're coming up roses everywhere you go

    Eb2  F
Red roses follow

[Solo]

[Bridge 2]
Eb  Gm              C        Eb
The things that you tell yourself

Gm      C           D
They'll kill you in time

     Eb         Gm      C           Eb
Your cold white brother alive in your blood

D
Spinning in the night sky
[Chorus 2]
G          Bb   Am      Em                  Eb
So you got in a kind of trouble that nobody knows

It's coming up roses everywhere you go

    Eb2  F
Red roses
