CD
If you ever feel like I did when you slip between the cracks
GEm
Maybe then you'll see how nothing stays in tact
CD
And when my life is over maybe you can understand
GEm
That I planned everything, but nothing went as planned
AmD
It's nothing personal, I just want you to know
G
I tried to understand

DGEm
You tortured me with the silence in your throat
AmD
And you tortured me with the stillness in your bones
GEm
You kicked the chair from underneath my feet
AmD
You must have seen the noose made out of roses that I wore to guarantee
GEm
That you couldn't go, that you wouldn't leave me all alone
AmD
Cause if you did, you'd see my body hanging just above the floor
GEm
Beside a note, to tell the world how terrible it was
AmEm
To fall in love with someone capable of cutting out my tongue
CDG
Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue
DEm
So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
CG
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
DEm
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
CG
The poison that we drank, so that at least we'd die together
( EmAmDGD )
GDGEm
It's comforting to fall asleep alone
AmD
And it's comforting because it's all I've ever known
GEm
If I should die before I wake
AmD
I pray to God my soul will find a peaceful place
GEm
Between the roses, between the roses
AmD
Because the earth is only pretty for so long
GEm
Between the roses, between the roses
CAmDG
You were the only one I'll trust to sing along
EmDG
To sing between the roses, sing my song
DEm
So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
CG
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
DEm
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
CG
The poison that we drank, so that at least we'd die together
G
As the sun went down, our hearts were heavy
Em
We knew it was time, but I was not ready
Am
To let you go, to say goodbye
D
To a love I thought would never die
G
You were quiet as hell and you looked so sad
Em
As I kissed your lips with my regrets
Am
In hopes that maybe we'd pretend
D
Forever never had to end
G
La, la, la, la, la
Em
La, la, la, la, la la la la
Am
That maybe we'd pretend
D
Our hope had died, but our love's not dead
CD
So grab your black umbrella and make your way down to the graveyard
GEm
Where you'll find the tree to which I tied this rope
CD
And nothing is for certain, that's the only thing I know
GEm
But I'm certain that it's time for me to go
AmD
It's nothing personal, it simply hurts to know
G
That I will be alone
