[Intro] | Am | Fmaj7 | Am | Fmaj7 | [Verse 1]
Am         Fmaj7
  Turn the key

Am           Fmaj7
  And step into the blackness

Am          Fmaj7
  Lamplight falls

Am            Fmaj7
  And casts a laughing phantom

Am   Fmaj7
  I imagine your smile

        Am                       Fmaj7
And the life that we could share

Am             Fmaj7
  But with the last of my steps

          Am                Fmaj7
I see the truth lying there
[Chorus]
     Dm    G
Dead roses

                    C          E7
At the bottom of an oubliette

                             Am              Fmaj7
Where they beat you 'til you begged to live

                          G           C
You are mine and you were always mine

                    Dm          G
Now I'm crying over dead roses

                       C   E7
I could never let them go
[Verse 2]
Am         Fmaj7
  A winged beast

Am            Fmaj7
  With horns upon his cranium

Am        Fmaj7
  Slinks away

Am              Fmaj7
  And grinning, makеs his way up

Am            Fmaj7
  I grasp the pieces of rose

         Am                  Fmaj7
And your raven locks of hair

Am           Fmaj7
  I hear the turn of the key

     Am                   Fmaj7
As I hiss my final prayer
[Chorus]
     Dm     G
Dead roses

                    C         E7
At the bottom of an oubliette

                             Am           Fmaj7
Where they beat you 'til you beg to live

                          G           C
You are mine and you were always mine

                    Dm          G
Now I'm crying over dead roses

                       C   E7
I could never let them go
[Outro] | Am | Fmaj7 | Am | Fmaj7 | | Am | Fmaj7 | Am | Fmaj7 | | Am | Fmaj7 | Am | Fmaj7 |
