Oh the City is turning lights off
G C
and the pets have run scared
G C
from all the noise that s Coming from
D
the Rose's Lair.
C G
All the stars have twinkled once
C G D
but before the second they will think again.
G C
With the gardeners disappearing,
G C
and the telephones all ringing
G C
and the Churches not believing
D
in all their prayer
C G
And if they sing of what this is about
C G D
they ll surely have to hide under the masks
D
Ooohhh
G
Rose rose a rose
and I stole it
C
to throw it at her feet
F
Oh Rose rose a rose
that was black like her eyes,
C
she couldn't see
(G C)(x4)
G C
All the outdoors in the highway,
G C
have been painted with a smiley
G
and some words they say
C D
the old folks understand
C G
It's not sorcery, it's just warning,
C G D
that your lose of sleep will not be repaired
D
Oh every thorn that fell
G
she knew was on her smile
D
Every thought of peace
G
Was coldder for a while
C
I knew I couldn't beg
D
Her eyes were turning black...!
G
Oh Rose rose a rose
and I stole it
C
to throw it at her feet
F
Oh Rose rose a rose
that was black like her eyes,
C
she couldn't see
F
And she screamed,
and she ripped,
and she spit on it,
C
and still she couldn't see.
F
Yes, Rose rose this rose, C
and I stole to be mine, and mine, and mine!
(G C)(x3)
G C
(And the whispers that surround me,
G G
say she's crying, and she's calling out my name...
