[Verse 1]
G
in the garden
Em
tears are falling
Am
watering the grass
D
as i walk along the path
G
you gave me this lucky rock
Em
hold it when you need to talk
D
but i know that you broke your promise
G
everything you wanted
Em Am
anything you needed
D
guess it was one sided
G, Em, Am, D
[Chorus]
G Em Am D
i gave my red roses to you
G Em Am D
you returned them to me as blue
G Em Am D
the pedals turn to ash and the thorns grow back
G Em Am D
i gave my red roses to you
[Verse 2]
G
in the hallway
Em
i can see it on your face
Am D
that you blame everything one me
G
you know that all you do is lie
Em
I should’ve seen it coming
Am D
after that one night in July
G Em Am D
people try to fix things that already are broken
G Em Am D
but what’s the point of glue when it’s long overdue
[Chorus]
G Em Am D
i gave my red roses to you
G Em Am D
you returned them to me as blue
G Em Am D
the pedals turn to ash and the thorns grow back
G Em Am D
i gave my red roses to you
[Bridge]
G Em Am D
don’t forget bout the hat that you left in the back of the car
G Em Am D
or the rake that’s we to shovel all the leaves in the fall
G Em Am D
i feel like i’m bleeding out in a way i’ve never felt cause now i don’t want it with you
or anyone else
G Em Am D
don’t forget bout the hat that you left in the back of the car
G Em Am D
or the rake that’s we to shovel all the leaves in the fall
G Em Am D
i feel like i’m bleeding out in a way i’ve never felt cause now i don’t want it with you
or anyone else
[Outro]

i gave my red roses to you
G Em Am D
you returned them to me as blue
G Em Am D
the pedals turn to ash and the thorns grow back
G Em Am D
i gave my red roses to you
