[Verse 1]
Bm|
I couldn't take it couldn't stand another minute
Bm|
Couldn't bear another day without you in it
G|
All of the joy that I had known for all my life
Em| F#m| G| Bm|
Was stripped away from me the minute that you died
Bm|
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
Bm|
But now without you I'm a soul forever haunted
G|
Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted
Em| F#m| G| Bm|
No way in Hell that I can ever comprehend this
Bm
I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
Bm
I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
G
How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay
Em C
Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day
Bm
It's like a movie but there's not a happy ending
Bm
Every scene fades black and there's no pretending
G
This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
Em C
There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell
Em Bm
I know you didn't plan this
Em Bm| Bm| Bm| Bm|
You tried to do what's right
Em Bm
But in the middle of this madness
C Cm Gm F#
I'm the one I'm the one I'm the one you left to win this fight
[Chorus]
Rest- one bar
Bm
Red like roses
G Em G A
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Bm
Always closer
G Em
To the emptiness and sadness
G A (Bm)
That has come to take the place of you
[Verse 2]
Bm|
I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness
Bm|
You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness
G|
Wish I could talk to you if only for a minute
Em| F#m| G| Bm|
Make you understand the reasons why I did it
Bm|
I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered
Bm|
Want you to know that for eternity I'm shattered
G|
I tried so hard just to protect you but I failed to
Em| F#m| G| Bm|
And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you
Bm
I never planned that I would leave you there alone
Bm
I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home
G
And all the times I swore that it would be okay
Em C
Now I'm nothing but a liar and you're thrown into the fray
Bm
This bedtime story ends with misery ever after
Bm
The pages are torn and there's no final chapter
G
I didn't have a choice I did what I had to do
Em C
I made a sacrifice but forced a bigger sacrifice on you
Em Bm
I know you've lived a nightmare
Em Bm| Bm| Bm| Bm|
I caused you so much pain
Em Bm
But baby please don't do what I did
C Cm Gm F#
I don't want I don't want I don't want you to waste your life in vain
[Chorus 2]
Bm
Red like roses
G Em G A
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Bm
Always closer
G Em
To the emptiness and sadness
G A (Em)
That has come to take the place of you
[Bridge]
Em Bm
You're not the only one who needed me I thought you understood
Em Bm
You were the one I needed and you left me as I always feared you would
Em Bm
Would I change it if I could
G Em
It doesn't matter how
G F#m
The petals scatter now
G Em
Every nightmare just discloses
G F#m
It's your blood that's red like roses
G Em
And no matter what I do
G A (Bm)
Nothing ever takes the place of you
(Verse chords under Solo)
[Chorus]
Bm
Red like roses
G Em G A
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Bm
Always closer
G Em
To the emptiness and sadness
G A|
That has come to take the place
G|
...of...
Bm|
...you.
