If you eCver feel like I did when you sDlip between the cracks
Maybe Gthen you’ll see how nothing stays in Emtact
And Cwhen my life is over maybe Dyou can understand
That I planned everyGthing, but nothing went as Emplanned
                                 Am       D(stop)
It’s nothing personal, I just want you to know
I tried to underGstand
 G   Em   Am   D   G   DX2
DYou tortured Gme with the silence in your Emthroat
And you tortured Amme with the stillness in your Dbones
You kicked the Gchair from underneath my Emfeet
You must have seen the Amnoose made out of roses that I wore Dto guarantee
That you couldn’t Ggo, that you wouldn’t Emleave me all alone 
Cause if you Amdid, you’d see my body hanging Djust above the floor
Beside a Gnote, to tell the world how Emterrible it was
To fall in Amlove with someone capable of Emcutting out my tongue, 
Of Ccutting out my, of Dcutting out my Gtongue
So did you just fDorget, or do you really not rEmemember
The bullets that we Ctook so we could stay alive Gforever
And did you just Dforget, or do you really not Emremember
                         C(stop)                              G  
The poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die together
Em Am D G D
GIt’s Dcomforting Gto fall asleep aEmlone
And it’s cAmomforting because it’s all I’ve ever kDnown
If I should Gdie before I Emwake
I pray to AmGod my soul will find a peaceful Dplace
Between the Groses, between the Emroses
Because the Amearth is only pretty for so Dlong
Between the Groses, between the Emroses
You were the Conly one I’ll tAmrust to sing DalongG  
To Emsing between the Droses, sing my Gsong
So did you just fDorget, or do you really not rEmemember
The bullets that we Ctook so we could stay alive Gforever
And did you just Dforget, or do you really not Emremember
                         C(stop)                              G  
The poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die together
GAs the sun went down, our hearts were heavy
EmWe knew it was time, but I was not ready
AmTo let you go, to say goodbye
DTo a love I thought would never die
GYou were quiet as hell and you looked so sad
As I Emkissed your lips with my regrets
AmIn hopes that maybe we’d pretend
D                        (stop)       
Forever never had to end
GLa, la, la, la, la
EmLa, la, la, la, la la la la
ThAmat maybe we'd pretend
 D                                      (strum slowly over all strings) 
Our hope had died, but our love’s not dead
So Cgrab your black umbrella and make your Dway down to the graveyard
Where you’ll Gfind the tree to which I tied this Emrope
And Cnothing is for certain, that’s the Donly thing I know
But I’m Gcertain that it’s time for me to Emgo
It’s nothing perAmsonal, it simply Dhurts to know
That I will be Galone

C D

If you ever feel like I did when you slip between the cracks

G Em

Maybe then you’ll see how nothing stays in tact

C D

And when my life is over maybe you can understand

G Em

That I planned everything, but nothing went as planned

Am D

(stop)

It’s nothing personal, I just want you to know

I tried to understand

G Em Am D G D

D G Em

You tortured me with the silence in your throat

Am D

And you tortured me with the stillness in your bones

G Em

You kicked the chair from underneath my feet

Am D

You must have seen the noose made out of roses that I wore to guarantee

G Em

That you couldn’t go, that you wouldn’t leave me all alone

Am D

Cause if you did, you’d see my body hanging just above the floor

G Em

Beside a note, to tell the world how terrible it was

Am Em

To fall in love with someone capable of cutting out my tongue,

C D G

Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue

D Em

So did you just forget, or do you really not remember

C G

The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever

D Em

And did you just forget, or do you really not remember

C G

(stop)

The poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die together

Em Am D G D

G D G Em

It’s comforting to fall asleep alone

Am D

And it’s comforting because it’s all I’ve ever known

G Em

If I should die before I wake

Am D

I pray to God my soul will find a peaceful place

G Em

Between the roses, between the roses

Am D

Because the earth is only pretty for so long

G Em

Between the roses, between the roses

C Am D G

You were the only one I’ll trust to sing along

Em D G

To sing between the roses, sing my song

D Em

So did you just forget, or do you really not remember

C G

The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever

D Em

And did you just forget, or do you really not remember

C G

(stop)

The poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die together

As the sun went down, our hearts were heavy

We knew it was time, but I was not ready

To let you go, to say goodbye

To a love I thought would never die

You were quiet as hell and you looked so sad

As I kissed your lips with my regrets

In hopes that maybe we’d pretend

D (stop)

Forever never had to end

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la la la la

That maybe we'd pretend

D (strum slowly over all strings)

Our hope had died, but our love’s not dead

C D

So grab your black umbrella and make your way down to the graveyard

G Em

Where you’ll find the tree to which I tied this rope

C D

And nothing is for certain, that’s the only thing I know

G Em

But I’m certain that it’s time for me to go

Am D

It’s nothing personal, it simply hurts to know

That I will be alone
