Elvis Costello – Song With Rose (Guitar)

  C                      Csus4 C
Between last breaths and first regrets

    C                    Csus4   C
The days dragged on like cigarettes

       C                    Csus4  C
In the distance martyrs and martinets

Gm     F                Em         Dm
Dally, dancing with the empty silhouettes of threats

    C                Csus4  C
So, where but heaven does love end

    C                   Csus4  C
And where on earth does it begin

     C               Csus4  C     Gm
It's not the kind of love that is pinned

       F        Em              G
Like a medal or presses pennies in a tin

F              G               F             C
There is hope, and after that, there is only faith

F           C
Love like a wraith

Dm            G
Never made me afraid

Fm                        C
Consoled as I was by that shade

F            C     G      C
Here lie the roses in the ashes

F           C    G         C
Deep as the barnacles that cling

F           C         G            C    Dm      G
Just like a lace that runs through everyone and everything

C             Csus4   C
In that other still forever

C              Csus4    C
In that time before the past

  C                Csus4 C
I told myself we'd be together

Gm      F               Em          G
Can you promise me that it will be eternally?

F              G               F             C
There is hope, and after that, there is only faith

F           C
Love like a wraith

Dm            G
Never made me afraid

Fm
Consoled as I was

   F                      C    F   C
Consoled as I was by that shade
