G
Dying rose petals they lay on our grave
Am
Mourned as the last time that I saw your face
Cmaj7
Oh what a shame
G
We were both younger
And Passion was pure
Loving was easy
Am
Forever was sure
Cmaj7
How could we know
G
Open your heart I need the proof
Am
How colours can change to black and blue
Cmaj7
To remind me of you
G Am
My tears fall as I watch you kill me slowly
Cmaj7 Am
And I should've known from the day that I first met you
Interlude
G Am Cmaj7 G
E7 Am
And I should've cried
E7 Am
Oh I should've cried
E7 Am E7
Oh baby I should've cried for you
