Rosanne Cash – Bells Roses (Guitar)

Bm             A                            G
Everything was mine but it's long stripped away

                          A                     Bm
I stand here naked as the stars and silent as a grave

                 A                             G
If you see who I really am or you still wanna stay

                         A                        D
There's a danger in this love and I wanna be that grave

D         Em       G                       A                  D
Bells and roses, a sign of departure but I love them just the same

D         Em       G                       A              Bm
Bells and roses, a sign of survival on the door into this pain

Now I'll go and if you say I must but I rather let it go The people I will never trust and the things that I can't know Kiss you until we turn to stone I'll fight you till we're blind But you love me when you're left alone and it makes me wanna die Bells and roses, if they wake up the senses to remind me who I am Bells and roses, the gifts of the spirit shall not be squandered on one man Everything was mine but it's long stripped away Will you love me if I'm naked or I'm silent as a grave You don't have to answer now but you might learn to pray And I'll step down off this cross into a life that I can change Bells and roses, they fill up the silence in the place where he once laid Bells and roses a sign of survival and the price I had to pay Bells and roses, Bells and roses
