Black Roses
Capo 4
[Verse]
I can see your Ameyes staring into Fmine
But it's a battleCfield
and you're on the other Gsus4side
You can throw your Amwords sharper than a Fknife
And leave me Ccold
In another house on Gsus4fire
[Refrain]
AmI lay Flow, lay Clow, and watch the bridges Emburn
AmI lay Flow, lay Clow, what more could I have Emdone?
[Chorus]
AmNow you only bring me black Froses
And they Ccrumble into dust when they're Emheld
AmNow you only bring me black Froses
Under your sCpellEm  
[Verse]
She told me Amtwice, all her good adFvice
But I couldn't Csee
I was clouded by your Gsus4liesG  
Up in Amsmoke, a vision she foreFtold
She said stay Caway
'cause that boy's a warning Gsus4signG  
[Pre-Chorus]
AmI lay Fmaj7low, lay Clow and watch the bridgeEms burn
[Chorus]
AmNow you only bring me black Froses
And they Ccrumble into dust when they're hEmeld
AmNow you only bring me black Froses
Under your CspellEm  
[Bridge]
And I'm Amdone try'na be the one
FPicking up the broken CpiecesDm  
And I'm Amdone try'na be the one
Who says I lFove you dear
But I'm CleavingDm  
[Chorus]
AmNow you only bring me black rFoses
And they Ccrumble into dust when theyEm're held
AmNow you only bring me black Froses
But I'm not under your Cspell
I'm not under your Emspell,
I'm not under your Amspell
I'm not under your sFpell
I'm not under your sCpellEm  
AmOooooooh, FooohC  Em  
    Am    F     C   Gsus4

The story behind the song

"Black Roses" comes from the world of the television series Nashville, which explores the lives of country music stars. The song captures a moment of quiet reflection, watching past connections fade as if bridges are burning. There's a sense of something missed, a feeling of not truly seeing what was happening, even as eyes met. It feels like a lament for what has been lost or misunderstood.
