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

Black rose on the bed

Don’t lay me down

Under the rocks where I found
My place in the ground
