[Verse]
Gm Bb
When I called on my nursemaid
Gm Bb D#
Come sit by my side
Gm Bb
But she cuts through my ribcage
Gm Bb F F#m
And pushes the pills deep in my eyes
Gm Bb
The taste was much sweeter
Gm Bb D#
Than chlorine and wine
Gm Bb
And my doctor’s unable
Gm Bb F F#m
To cut through cable that leads to my mind
Gm Bb
In spite of the winter
Gm Bb D#
There’s ways to keep warm
Gm Bb
Whatever you give me
Gm Bb F F#m
Please know that I’ll ask you for more
Gm Bb
The day I stopped swimming
Gm Bb D#
And came out of the tide
Gm Bb
I’d never felt so uncomfortably numb
Gm Bb F F#m
Here by your side
[Solo] (2x)

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