G                       C
Oh the City is turning lights off
        G               C
and the pets have run scared
            G                   C
from all the noise that s Coming from
            D
the Rose's Lair.

        C                    G
All the stars have twinkled once
      C               G                 D
but before the second they will think again.

          G             C
With the gardeners disappearing,
        G               C
and the telephones all ringing
        G                C
and the Churches not believing
               D
in all their prayer

              C               G
And if they sing of what this is about
          C             G               D
they ll surely have to hide under the masks
D
Ooohhh

G
Rose rose a rose
and I stole it
                    C
to throw it at her feet

    F
Oh Rose rose a rose
that was black like her eyes,
              C
she couldn't see

(G C)(x4)

G                       C
All the outdoors in the highway,
             G             C
have been painted with a smiley
        G
and some words they say
     C               D
the old folks understand

        C                     G
It's not sorcery, it's just warning,
            C           G               D
that your lose of sleep will not be repaired

D
Oh every thorn that fell
     G
she knew was on her smile
D
Every thought of peace
     G
Was coldder for a while
   C
I knew I couldn't beg
     D
Her eyes were turning black...!


 G
Oh Rose rose a rose
and I stole it
                    C
to throw it at her feet

    F
Oh Rose rose a rose
that was black like her eyes,
              C
she couldn't see

          F
And she screamed,
and she ripped,
and she spit on it,
                       C
and still she couldn't see.
       F
Yes, Rose rose this rose,                 C
and I stole to be mine, and mine, and mine!

(G C)(x3)

           G                C
(And the whispers that surround me,
            G                G
say she's crying, and she's calling out my name...
