Poets Of The Fall - Roses

Intro: Em C G D }x2

Verse 1:
Em                C                   G                     D
I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go
             Em               C     G        D
at what I thought I knew was real, held no appeal
Em              C                      G    D
I've been to places, I've seen the tidings, 
I bought a book of rules
            Em                C  G   D
for every coin that I could steal

Verse 2:
     Em    C      G     D        Em C G               D
and so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn
     Em   C        G      D      Em C          G          D
and consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn

Prechorus:
Em            C      G  D
So when I'm crying alone
Em               C        G  D
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone

chorus:
Em          C       G   D
grow me a garden of roses
Em             C        G    D
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Em            C              G   D
Teach me to speak with their voices
Em           C            G   D
Show me the way and I'll try again

Instrumental: (as intro)

Verse 3:
I've heard the rumors, started fires, 
I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I 
behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, 
but healing doesn't seem to happen when you 
away the seed

Verse 4:
and so I came across the medicine man, 
and he showed me what I'd forlorn
for if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, 
and my own voice full of scorn

Prechorus

chorus

bridge:
D   Em            D          C
Without you I'm nothing at all
D    Em            D        C       D
and life has the face of a morbid game
     Em                D     C
With you nothing is impossible
   D            Em       C    Em 
It all seems to fit the frame

Prechorus

chorus x3 with fade on the last one
