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

[Chorus]
A# F
Black rose on the bed
D# F
Turn me to fire
A# F
Black rose in the vein
D# F
Shine in your eye

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]
A# F
Black rose on the bed
D# F
Turn me to fire
A# F
Black rose in the vein
D# F
Shine in your eye
A#
Please
[Final]
D# Gm A A# D# F
Don’t lay me down
