Verse
D
Looks like The King and 'Cilla got a little too drunk last night
G D
And we came in and it turned in to a Hank and Audrey fight
D
You fixed my face up good and I broke everything in sight
G D
And as we coasted out on fumes in raised the light
Em A
When you slipped your little hand in mine
G D
And it's them lady like things that make me go insane
A D
That turn me right around, I fall in love with you again
G D A G
I wouldn't crave the golden days without the cold blue rain
Em A
Like beauty spiked with pain
G G/F# G/E D A G
Like tangled up roses
G G/F# G/E D A G
Like tangled up roses
G G/F# G/E D A G
Like tangled up roses
G G/F# G/E D A G
Like tangled up roses
We've grown around each other right from the very start
And the thorns that sting our side assure we won't be torn apart
And when our coldest winter seems that it will never pass
You usher in the summer wind with a singing of your laugh
You put your little hand in mine
Chorus
Bridge
C G D C G D
Your legs wind up around my heart
C G
Like life immitating art
Am D
Two lovers strike poses
