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      Fmaj7
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
