B Ab
Dead rose, you were once so vibrant
F# Dbm
As you stretched out towards the sun
Abm F#
And spread your pedals wide
To take it all inside
B Abm Eb
Dead rose, tried to keep you alive
Ab Dbm
But you drank the water dry
F# Abm
And now you're facing down
F#
Your pedals scattered on the ground
E Abm
But you grew so naturally at first
B
And so this natural death occurs
Ebm
A stem in water never lasts as long
E
As roots planted in dirt
Abm
And although we have had our time
B
It hurts to watch you fade and die
Ebm
What once was stunning and alive
Becomes so cold and
E Abm
Dead rose, I don't love you anymore
B Abm
Dead rose, you're a symbol of the truth
F# Dbm
Of the love we had for you
Ab F#
How all good things must end and with each death new life begins
B Ab Ebm
Dead rose, how am I suppose to find
Dbm
Something equally divine?
F# Db F#
No matter where I go I plant the seeds but nothing grows
E Abm
You grew so naturally at first
B
And so this natural death occurs
Ebm
A stem in water never lasts as long
Dbm E
As roots planted in dirt
Abm
And although we have had our time
B
It hurts to watch you fade and die
Ebm
What once was stunning and alive
E
Becomes so cold and dead inside
Abm E
How fleeting is love, how fleeting is life
Abm B
When I came home and shut the door
Ebm Dbm
I saw your last pedal hit the floor
Abm B F#
And I was struck by something I'd never felt before
E Abm Ab
Dead rose, I don't love you any more
E B
We'll look back on the day
F# E
when the dead rose from the grave
B
No more sorry and shame
Ebm F# Db
The new body and name
Abm
Nothing perfect will die
Eb
No more tears in our eyes
F#
No more worries and trials
E
We'll have faith like a child's
Abm B
When I come through that open door
Ebm Dbm
I'll finally see you as you really are
Abm B F#
And I'll be struck by something I'd never felt before
E B Abm
Dead rose I will love you forever more
E B Abm
Dead rose I will love you forever more
