Violets For Roses

G
  There's something in the air
     Am                                  G
The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses
         Em                 Bm           C
With their masks off and it makes me so happy
G                                 C             G
   Larchmont Village smells like lilies of the valley
          Bm                  D
And the bookstore doors are opening
  C                D
And it's finally happening

[Pre-Chorus 1]
C                             Am                     D          G
Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with me
     Am                 D
And, boy, does it feel sweet
Like a summer breeze
C                             Am                     D              G
Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with the city
        Am7
Like thе Paramount sign sparkling
B7               Em        Em D
   Sparkling just for me

[Chorus]
G                      Am         Em
You made me tradе my violets for roses
G                        B7             C      G
You tried to trade in my new truck for horses
                           C               Bm          Am
Don't forget all of these things that you love are the same things I hate
C           D       Em
  A simple life, I chose this
G                     Am          Em
You made me trade my violets for roses
G                          B7          C
You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and
G                     C           Bm       Am
God knows the only mistake that a man can make
                        B7                              C
Is tryna make a woman change and trade her violets for roses

[Post-Chorus 1]
G          D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
           B7          C
Trade her violets for roses
G          D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha

[Verse 2]
G
  There's something in the air
   Am                                    G
I hope it doesn't change, that it's for real
    Em            Bm           C
The beginning of something big happening
G
And by the murder alleys
C                    G
In the streets have ceased
               Bm                 D
And still the shadows haunt the avenue
     C           D
The silence is deafening

[Pre-Chorus 2]
C                             Am                     D               G
Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with the streets
     Am                D
And, God, does it feel sweet
Like a summer breeze
C                            Am                        D      G
Ever since I fell out of love with you I breakdance to the backbeat
     Am7
And, God, does it sound sweet
          B7               Em    Em D
Like it's playing just for me

[Chorus]
G                     Am          Em
You made me trade my violets for roses
G                         B7              C     G
You tried to trade in my new truck for horses
                            C              Bm                Am
Don't forget all of these things that you love are the same things I hate
C           D       Em
  A simple life, I chose this
G                      Am        Em
You made me trade my violets for roses
G                          B7          C
You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and
G                     C           Bm       Am
God knows the only mistake that a man can make
                           B7                               C
Is tryin' to make a woman change and trade her violets for roses

[Post-Chorus 2]
G          D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
           B7          C
Trade her violets for roses
G          D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
           B7           C
Trade her violets for roses
G           D
(Ah-la-ha, ah-ha)

[Outro]
G
  There's something in the air
     Am                 Em               G
The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses
            Em                B           C
With their masks off and it makes me so happy
