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

Black rose on the bed

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