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

Black rose on the bed

Turn me to fire

Black rose in the vein

Shine in your eye

Please
[Bridge]
C#
Don’t lay me down
A#m
Under the rocks where I found
My place in the ground
Fm D#
G home for the fathers and sons
[Chorus]

Black rose on the bed
C# D#
Turn me to fire
Ab D#
Black rose in the vein
C# D#
Shine in your eye

Please
