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

Black rose on the bed

Turn me to fire

Black rose in the vein

Shine in your eye

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

Black rose on the bed

Turn me to fire
D A
Black rose in the vein
G A
Shine in your eye
D
Please
