Roses Are Black

[Cadd9] [G] [Em7] [D] [Cadd9] [G] [D]
[Cadd9]Laughs in the [G]mirror, [Em7]cries now and [D]then
[Cadd9]Ten miles from [G]home in the [D]rain
[Cadd9]She'd like to [G]call him but [Em7]he's always [D]gone
He's [Ca99]fallen for [G]something and [D]not someone
[Cadd9]Dreams are like [G]driving, [Em7]hope is sur[D]real
[Cadd9]Each time they [G]kiss she knows [D]just how he feels
Not even [Cadd9]close to what she [G]wanted, recipro[Em7]cation's for[D]gone
And [Cadd9]she's left with [G]sounds on the [D]road
Chorus:
[Em7]Roses are [G]black
[Cadd9]Loving is [D]dying for [Em7]someone who [G]doesn't de[D]serve
[Em7]Finders are [G]keepers
But [Cadd9]losing would [D]bring her to [Em7]you[Em/F#] [G]
Bring her to [Em7]you[Em/F#] [G]
Addicted to comfort with a heart that's been hewn
While the noise from the TV fights its way through her room
It's what quitting is to cancer you've got answers in spades
But you go with what's easy 'cause it makes you feel safe
Chorus
Some [Em7]seats are still open but [D]your glass is half full my [Cadd9]dear
[Em7]Leaving is easy [C]once you've decided to[Cadd9] listen to what we both hear
Chorus
