Pretenders – English Roses (Guitar)

Bm D                   A
   Just before it rains the wind whips 'round the balcony

Bm D                  A
   And the sky closes on the english roses

Bm D               A
   And she'll be pacin' Round and 'round and 'round and 'round      

Bm        D            A
Her Room, these storms always find here to remind her

Bm D              A
   To the endless sky The pink over 

Bm    D                   A 
Grey… She looks for an answer but it's too late

Bm    D            A
      Maybe it's true: some things were just never meant 

Bm   D A
To be… Maybe not

C#m D                 A
     This is a story, fruit cut from the vine

C#m D                        A
     Forgot and left to rot, long before its time

C#m D                A
     This is a story about the girl who lived next door

E   D
     Looking for someone to hold

Bm D                    A
    A wish made on a star brought her here tonight

Bm D                    A
    At a courtyard she waits a thousand broken dates

Bm D                        A
    But she holds the hymnal where so carefully pressed

Bm D               A
    Is the english rose she laid to rest

C#m D      A 
     Ahhh… It's only a story

C#m D                       A
     Flowers in full bloom, bouquets in every room

C#m D                     A
    Ooh, this is a story, fruit cut from the vine

E   D
    Looking for someone to hold
