guitar chords lyrics
Intro G D C G C G D C D
G D C G
She gave it away on good faith when she was 15 years old.
C G D
He was 16 and did not appreciate the delicacy of a rose.
G D C G
A long string of lovers helped blur the line between true love and lust.
C G D G
A teenage girl who?s been sold short, who?s she got left to trust?
G D C G
The cycle of sin she found herself in once the word got out
C G D
It broke her heart to realize what they were all about.
G D C G
After she gave all she had they didn?t treat her so well.
C G D G
Each time she went their way, another petal fell.
D C G Walk down
Sometimes life leads you down a road that you don?t choose.
Em C G
You try so hard to win but you still loose.
D C G
Bottle it all up inside where nothing ever grows.
C G D G
She built a ten foot wall around what?s left of a rose.
G D C G
I have always been there when she?s cried a million tears.
C G D
But I know why she can?t see that I?ve loved her for years.
G D C G
In the fertile soil of my hands I know real love could bloom.
C G D G
I would give up everything to bathe in her perfume.
D C G Walk down
Sometimes life leads you down a road that you don?t choose.
Em C G
You try so hard to win but you still loose.
D C G
Bottle it all up inside where nothing ever grows.
C G D G
She built a ten foot wall around what?s left of a rose.
BRIDGE
Em D
She?s been loved a time or two
C G
but I don?t think she could tell.
C G C
She?s always been called easy,
C G D C G C G D
But friend she?s hard as hell.
D C G Walk down
Sometimes life leads you down a road that you don?t choose.
Em C G
You try so hard to win but you loose.
D C G
Bottle it all up inside where nothing ever grows.
C G D G
She built a ten foot wall around what?s left of a rose.
C G D G D C G C D G
She built a ten foot wall around what?s left of a rose.
