Intro: Am F Csus2 G x2
Verse 1:
Am F Csus2 G
The moment when you held me tight won't come back any more
Am F Csus2 G
And at the end of that night you slammed the door
Am F Csus2 G
My dream it died away just when I saw red
Am F Csus2 Am
And nothing but a memory is left inside my head
Bridge:
Dm G
Nothing is forever in life but a memory believe it's true
Dm Em F Gsus4
And when I gaze in the rain I'm cryin just for you
Chorus:
C Am Dm G
The scarlet rose has died. Lost inside the night
Em Am
Left in my mind like a dream all full of pride
F G
The scarlet rose has died
Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
The one and only way to catch the beauty of a dawn
is to take a picture of the growin' sun
I got that experience no one could steal away
One moment of your life is mine I remember day by day
Nothing is forever in life but a memory believe it's true
And when I gaze in the rain I'm cryin just for you
