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

Black rose on the bed

Turn me to fire
Eb A#
Black rose in the vein

Shine in your eye

Please
[Bridge]
G#
Don’t lay me down

Under the rocks where I found
My place in the ground
Cm A#
D home for the fathers and sons
[Chorus]

Black rose on the bed

Turn me to fire

Black rose in the vein

Shine in your eye

Please
