Verse
Dm C Dm
I saw you in the garden, I wanted you so much
C Dm
I really thought that you were different, oh, I couldn't get enough

I tried to save you from yourself, I felt every high and low
C F
But the lows have drowned the highs away now there's nowhere else to go
Pre-Chorus
F Bb B6
Black rose your thorns are cutting into me for the last time
F Bb
Black rose I watched your petals wilt away
C5 D5 A5 Bb5
I couldn't bring you back to life
C5 D5 A5 Bb5
You were always where the sun could never go,
C5 D5 A5 Bb5
I never wanted you to have to be alone
C5 D5 A5 Bb5
But I couldn't find a way to help you grow,
C5
Black Rose.
