SayWeCanFly – Between The Roses (Guitar)

        C                             D
If you ever feel like I did when you slip between the cracks

      G                                   Em
Maybe then you’ll see how nothing stays in tact

   C                           D
And when my life is over maybe you can understand

                    G                          Em
That I planned everything, but nothing went as planned

             Am                    D     (stop)
It’s nothing personal, I just want you to know

                G
I tried to understand

D            G                           Em
You tortured me with the silence in your throat

                 Am                            D
And you tortured me with the stillness in your bones

               G                        Em
You kicked the chair from underneath my feet

                       Am                                 D      
You must have seen the noose made out of roses that I wore to guarantee

                  G                     Em                   
That you couldn’t go, that you wouldn’t leave me all alone 

             Am                             D                     
Cause if you did, you’d see my body hanging just above the floor

         G                           Em                     
Beside a note, to tell the world how terrible it was

           Am                           Em                        
To fall in love with someone capable of cutting out my tongue, 

   C                  D              G           
Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue

                 D                            Em  
So did you just forget, or do you really not remember

                    C                           G        
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever

                 D                            Em         
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember

                   C      (stop)                          G    
The poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die together

G    D          G               Em     
It’s comforting to fall asleep alone

          Am                                    D         
And it’s comforting because it’s all I’ve ever known

            G            Em   
If I should die before I wake

          Am                              D     
I pray to God my soul will find a peaceful place

            G                  Em    
Between the roses, between the roses

            Am                          D      
Because the earth is only pretty for so long

            G                  Em     
Between the roses, between the roses

             C              Am           D         G
You were the only one I’ll trust to sing along

   Em               D              G      
To sing between the roses, sing my song

                 D                            Em  
So did you just forget, or do you really not remember

                    C                           G        
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever

                 D                            Em         
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember

                   C      (stop)                          G    
The poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die together

G                                          
As the sun went down, our hearts were heavy

Em                                          
We knew it was time, but I was not ready

Am                          
To let you go, to say goodbye

D                                   
To a love I thought would never die

G                                          
You were quiet as hell and you looked so sad

     Em                               
As I kissed your lips with my regrets

Am                                      
In hopes that maybe we’d pretend

G                       
La, la, la, la, la

Em                              
La, la, la, la, la la la la

  Am                    
That maybe we'd pretend

   C                                      D                            
So grab your black umbrella and make your way down to the graveyard

             G                                  Em         
Where you’ll find the tree to which I tied this rope

    C                                  D                   
And nothing is for certain, that’s the only thing I know

        G                                Em   
But I’m certain that it’s time for me to go

                Am               D      
It’s nothing personal, it simply hurts to know

               G    
That I will be alone
