Bm
I have seen your body
A6
And I have seen your beauty
A A7
They are separate things
Em
Pretty, pretty, pretty things
Bm
But I am in a garden
A6
Tending to my own
A A7
So what do I care
And what do you care
Em
If I grow?
If�I�grow
Bm
Roses,�roses, roses, roses,�roses
G
(Roses, roses, roses,�roses, roses)
A Em
Show no concern for colors of a violet
Bm
Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus
G
(Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus)
A Em
Hopes it won't spark envy in your irises
Bm
Think of all the wilted women
A6
Who crane their necks to reach a window
A A7
Ripping all their petals off just 'cause
Em
"He loves me now, he loves me not"
( Bm )
I myself was a wilted woman
Drowsy in a dark room
Forgot my roots
Now watch me bloom
Bm
Roses,�roses, roses, roses,�roses
G
(Roses, roses, roses,�roses, roses)
A Em
Show no concern for colors of a violet
Bm
Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus
G
(Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus)
A Em
Hopes it won't spark envy in your irises
G
(Irises)
( G D/F# Em )
G
And I will not compare
D/F# Em
Other beauty to mine
D/F# G
And I will not become
D/F# Em
A thorn in my own side
D/F# G
And I will not return
D/F# Em
To where I once was
D/F# G
Well, I can break through the earth
D/F# Em
Come out soft and wild

Roses,�roses, roses, roses,�roses
