[Verse 1:]
               Dbm               A
I can see your eyes staring into mine. 
                 E                             B
But it's a battlefield and you're on the other side.
                   Dbm                  A
You can throw your words sharper than a knife.
             E                        B
And leave me cold in another house on fire.
Dbm   A        E                          Abm
I lay low, lay low, and watch the bridges burn.
Dbm   A        E                           Abm
I lay low, lay low, what more could I have done?

[Chorus:]
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses.
         E                                Abm
And they crumble in the dust when they're held.
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses
           E
under your spell.

[Verse 2:]
            Dbm                   A
She told me twice, all her good advice.
               E                         B
But I couldn't see I was clouded by your lies.
        Dbm                     A
You can smoke, a vision she foretold.
               E                              B
She said stay away 'cause that boys a warning sign.
Dbm   A        E                          Abm
I lay low, lay low, and watch the bridges burn.

[Chorus:]
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses.
         E                                Abm
And they crumble in the dust when they're held.
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses
           E
under your spell.

[Bridge:]
Abm     Dbm
And I'm done try'na be the one,
A                        E
picking up the broken pieces.
Abm     Dbm
And I'm done try'na be the one,
           A
who says I love you dear.
           E   Abm
But I'm leaving.

[Chorus:]
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses.
         E                                Abm
And they crumble in the dust when they're held.
Dbm                         A
Now you only bring me black roses
                       E
but I'm not under your spell,
                   Abm
I'm not under your spell,
                   Dbm
I'm not under your spell,
                   A
I'm not under your spell,
                   E  Abm
I'm not under your spell.

Dbm  A    E
Oooooooh, oooh, 

 Abm - Dbm -
A|- E
