C D
If you ever feel like I did when you slip between the cracks
G Em
Maybe then you’ll see how nothing stays in tact
C D
And when my life is over maybe you can understand
G Em
That I planned everything, but nothing went as planned
Am D (stop)
It’s nothing personal, I just want you to know
G
I tried to understand
G Em Am D G D X2
D G Em
You tortured me with the silence in your throat
Am D
And you tortured me with the stillness in your bones
G Em
You kicked the chair from underneath my feet
Am D
You must have seen the noose made out of roses that I wore to guarantee
G Em
That you couldn’t go, that you wouldn’t leave me all alone
Am D
Cause if you did, you’d see my body hanging just above the floor
G Em
Beside a note, to tell the world how terrible it was
Am Em
To fall in love with someone capable of cutting out my tongue,
C D G
Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue
D Em
So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
C G
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
D Em
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
C (stop) G
The poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die together
Em Am D G D
G D G Em
It’s comforting to fall asleep alone
Am D
And it’s comforting because it’s all I’ve ever known
G Em
If I should die before I wake
Am D
I pray to God my soul will find a peaceful place
G Em
Between the roses, between the roses
Am D
Because the earth is only pretty for so long
G Em
Between the roses, between the roses
C Am D G
You were the only one I’ll trust to sing along
Em D G
To sing between the roses, sing my song
D Em
So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
C G
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
D Em
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
C (stop) G
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 (stop)
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 (strum slowly over all strings)
Our hope had died, but our love’s not dead
C D
So grab your black umbrella and make your way down to the graveyard
G Em
Where you’ll find the tree to which I tied this rope
C D
And nothing is for certain, that’s the only thing I know
G Em
But I’m certain that it’s time for me to go
Am D
It’s nothing personal, it simply hurts to know
G
That I will be alone
