[Verse]
Am C
When I called on my nursemaid
Am C F
Come sit by my side
Am C
But she cuts through my ribcage
Am C G G#m
And pushes the pills deep in my eyes
Am C
The taste was much sweeter
Am C F
Than chlorine and wine
Am C
And my doctor’s unable
Am C G G#m
To cut through cable that leads to my mind
Am C
In spite of the winter
Am C F
There’s ways to keep warm
Am C
Whatever you give me
Am C G G#m
Please know that I’ll ask you for more
Am C
The day I stopped swimming
Am C F
And came out of the tide
Am C
I’d never felt so uncomfortably numb
Am C G G#m
Here by your side

[Chorus]
C G
Black rose on the bed
F G
Turn me to fire
C G
Black rose in the vein
F G
Shine in your eye
C
Please
[Bridge]
F
Don’t lay me down
Dm
Under the rocks where I found
My place in the ground
Am G
B home for the fathers and sons
[Chorus]
C G
Black rose on the bed
F G
Turn me to fire
C G
Black rose in the vein
F G
Shine in your eye
C
Please
