G                                      C                        G    C  G
The morning we moved in this house you said let's make a bed of roses
   D7                                                       G      D7
So hand in hand we found that special place and I broke the ground
  G                               C                          G        C  G
I wiped that delta dirt from your face as you knelt there to sow them
       Am                               D7                         G  G7
Oh I'd give anything a mortal man could give if you could see them now

C                                            G     C  G
Through the kitchen windowpane I can see the roses
D7                                                                            G    G7
The ones we planted that first spring are blooming like they did when you were here
C                                                       G   Em
Someone's always left behind when the door of this life closes
Am                          D7                 G     C
So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses

G                                C                           G     C G
Some days I sit for hours at the time just stirring at those roses
     D7                                                              G     D7
They seem so young and full of life but soon they'll face the winter chill
G                           C                            G      C  G
I don't know how long I can survive but one thing that I know is
     Am                         D7                   G    D7
Come spring time the roses will return but you never will

Repeat #2

Am                          D7                 C  G
So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses
