Verse 1

The crimson tide is flowing through your fingers as you sleep

The promise of a clean regime are promises we keep.

Do you like it rough I ask and are you on to task?

The calicoes of pettibon where cultures come to clash

Chorus

Several of my best friends wear, the colours of the crown

 And Mary wants to fill it up, and Sherry wants to tear it all back

down, girl

 The savior of your life

 The monarchy of roses

 The monarchy of roses tonight

Verse 2

The cloth between my former queen, her legendary stare

The holy tears that I am in, the lovely cross to bear

Chorus

Several of my best friends know, the secrets of this town

 And Mary wants to raise it up, and Sherry wants to split it all

around, girl

 The sailors of the night

 The monarchy of roses

 The monarchy of roses tonight

Solo chords

(This part is kind of iffy, but these chords sound

really good for an acoustic version of the song. Although they may

not be the chords actually used in the song, they use all the

notest that Josh uses in the solo, and give the same feeling if

you're playing alone.)

Chorus

Several of my best friends wear, the colours of the crown

 The monarchy of roses tonight

Outro

Hey yeah

We all want the rose you know, I said

Hey yeah

Show us love before you go

Say I will, say I want to

 The story of love that I will never taunt you

Hey yeah

We all want the rose you know, I said

Hey yeah

Show us love before you go

Say I will, say I want to

 The story of love that I will always want you

Hey
