Standard (EADGBE)

As the roses lift their heads to catch a glimpse of my demise

 You'll be throwing lies around like ocean waves throw down the tides

 And they are breaking on my shore

 And the rescue team won't save me now I'm out too far

 So I'll waste these nights for a while

 But I'll be holding onto you forever

 And this is where my heart is cold and torn

 As I read the words you wrote last night

 the butterflies are creeping down my spine

It's a thrill I can't shake

Yeah I know we've been writing a mistake

But it's hard to erase the feelings I've drawn

I was caught in an awkward silence

Broken down by the sound of your prelude that you played

To open our symphony

I've been sleeping with the sunrise watching hours pass away

 Incidentally I'm just waiting for the dusk to kill the day

 But now I'm waiting for your call

 While I bang on this piano like you care at all

 So I'll waste these nights for a while

 But I'll be holding onto you forever

 And this is where my heart is cold and torn

 As I hear the words you're saying tonight

 I'm falling for them every single time

Interlude

As the roses dip their heads a little further to the ground

 There's a season change and all the pinks and whites have turned to brown

 Will we make it through the fall

 Yeah are we gonna make it through this fall

 ‘cause I don't wanna fall with you

 So I'll waste these nights for a while (I'm trying,)

 But I'll be holding onto you forever (We're dying,)

 And this is where my heart is cold and torn (Yeahhhh)

 I'm taken by your hope-filled lines

 They're well designed and dragging me along

 I'll be waiting for this chance and I'll be gone

Enjoy
