Red, Like Roses Chords & Lyrics by The Velvet Teen
Red, Like Roses
guitar chords lyrics
F#m9
each night I close my eyes
B6
and wonder what will come of me
F#m9 B6
in days to follow
F#m9 B6
I lay awake and after countless hours,
F#m9
I just can`t think straight
B6
turn in, fade, pass out
F#m9 B6
yet, in this simple way, we offer
F#m9 B6
to destroy all we can`t figure out
F#m9 B6
in our simple lives, unconscious
F#m9 B6
we employ our skills from underground
Dmaj7 Cdim C#m7
to seek what we`ve never seen
Dmaj7 C#7sus4 C#7
to explore, deep
F#m9 B6
inside
the mornings greet me with grey days and tear-stained windowsills and pillowcases
I get dressed and go to work
bloody noses, red like roses pose as sanctuary
when I just need a minute to myself
and in this simple way, we offer
to destroy all we can`t figure out
in our simple lives, unconscious
we employ our skills from underground
to seek what we`ve never seen
to find, where we never knew
to explore deep, inside
kill me, won`t you kill me
kill me
let me sleep again
kill me
don`t relate your memories
kill me
kill me won`t you
to see
what we`ve never seen to find
where we never knew to go
where we never dared to explore
deep...
