Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Preparing flowers she is faced
With the man, the ghost has laced the ribbon,
No amount of soul she's given,
She don't know what to give.
Sit in empty rooms together,
She wants to fit the shards together,
Find out what they lost,
When they lost him.
She fears she'll crack the eggshells,
But the pendulum still swings,
Delicate door unhinged is within sight.
As this rose it knows,
The cost of those who're lost at sea
These waves won't carry everyone,
And they won't carry me.
This tree is anchored to the ground,
The birds take flight, the blossoms bound,
I won't let them fall,
I won't let them fall.
Don't make this cold for me,
I feel it snowing at my feet,
Take me down upon my knees,
I think I need you,
I think I need you to know:
That this rose it knows,
The cost of those who're lost at sea
These waves won't carry everyone,
And they won't carry me.

As this rose it knows,
The cost of those who're lost at sea
These waves won't carry everyone,
And they won't...
As this rose it knows,
The cost of those who're lost at sea
These waves won't carry everyone,
And they won't carry me.
She took the anchor from the light,
Strength to hope another sight,
Togetherness is harder still,
Sleep easy in your bed at night.

Togetherness is harder still,
Sleep easy in your bed at night.
Sleep easy.
Sleep easy.....
