Ray Lamontagne - Roses And Cigarettes
DPlastered in your lGoose paper pDalace
Gdishes and the back door slamDs
the Gdog's on your flAoor they don't rDoam anyBmmore
and the Eriver has gone deaf at the AdaA7m
The Ddust falls like Grain on your Ddoorsteps
Gchokes you when you lift your rDake
aint no Gwine so sAweet as the tDaste of your mBmouth
but your Elove ain't the kind you can AkeA7ep
BmOld rAoses and cEigarettes
ApillowA/G#case that reF#mmembers Ayou
the Bmscent of you still lAingers on my fEingertips
till AI think I A/G#might go insF#ane

Ray Lamontagne - Roses And Cigarettes

D G D

Plastered in your loose paper palace

G D

dishes and the back door slams

G A D Bm

the dog's on your floor they don't roam anymore

E A A7

and the river has gone deaf at the dam

D G D

The dust falls like rain on your doorsteps

G D

chokes you when you lift your rake

G A D Bm

aint no wine so sweet as the taste of your mouth

E A A7

but your love ain't the kind you can keep

Bm A E

Old roses and cigarettes

A A/G# F#m A

pillowcase that remembers you

Bm A E

the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips

A A/G# F#

till I think I might go insane

Bm E Bm E Bm E Bm Bm/C#

when will I see you again?

D G D

I've seen how you look at the stranger

G D

I've seen how you wait when he's gone

G A D Bm

I told you I thought there was sin in your heart

E A A7

could you honestly tell me I'm wrong?

Bm A E

Old roses and cigarettes

pillowcase that remembers you

Bm A E

the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips

till I think I might go insane

Bm E Bm E Bm E Bm Bm/C#

when will I see you again?

D G D

He tells you that he needs you, he's a liar

G D

he tells you he's a hero, he's a fool

G A D Bm

he tells you he'll stay till the lord's breaking day

E A A7

and baby he ain't nothing but cruel

pillowcase that remembers you

the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
