Tom: C C [Verse 1] C Your father sat with the night's first drink F Your mother washed the dishes in the sink G You stood on the steps, wearing your best C One red rose on a new black dress [Verse 2] C When we walked under the powerlines F I dreamed about it a thousand times G You weren't like the rest C One red rose on a new black dress [Chorus] F C One red rose on a new black dress F C Crushing it between our chests G Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be C One dead rose is all I see [Verse 3] C We hid in the weeds and we hid in the grass F Listening to the cars on the highway pass G Then you put me to the test C One red rose on a new black dress [Instrumental] C F G C [Chorus] F C One red rose on a new black dress F C Crushing it between our chests G Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be C One dead rose is all I see [Verse 4] C Then you said we could never come back F And walked awax through the housing tract G Leaving me with what's left C One red rose from a new black dress [Chorus] F C One red rose on a new black dress F C Crushing it between our chests G Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be C One dead rose is all I see
