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

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