Wild Roses

     D          A                    F#m
Wild roses on a bed of leaves in the month of May
          D                 A    F#m
I think I wrote my own pain,  oh don't you

|D   |A   |F#m |    | x2


[Verse 1]

     D               A                   F#m
Down by the creek, I couldn't sleep so I followed a feeling
                D                         A   F#m
Sounds like the vines, they are breathing
         D                A                     F#m
And I've seen the way the seasons change when I just give it time
           D              A     F#m
But I feel out of my mind   all the time


[Pre-Chorus]

       D          A         F#m
In the night I am wild eyed,  and you got me now


[Chorus]

   D                A                 F#m
Oh roses they don't mean a thing, you don't understand
                 D               A    F#m        (E)
But why don't we full on pretend,  oh won't you
  D               A            F#m             E
Before I close my eyes I saw a moth in the sky
             D                   A    F#m       E
And I wish I could fly that high,  oh don't you?


[Verse 2]

  D            A                    F#m
A serpent on a bed of leaves in the month of May
            D               A   F#m
What do you want me to say?
         D                  A                F#m
That you keep me still when all I feel is an aimless direction
                 D                 A   F#m
When I think I'm losing connection   I see you


[Pre-Chorus]

       D          A         F#m               E
In the night I am wild eyed,  and you got me now
        D              A         F#m
Dim the lights, we are wild eyed,  and you got me now


[Chorus]

   D                A                 F#m
Oh roses they don't mean a thing, you don't understand
                 D               A    F#m        (E)
But why don't we full on pretend,  oh won't you
  D               A            F#m             E
Before I close my eyes I saw a moth in the sky
             D                   A    F#m       E
And I wish I could fly that high,  oh don't you?


[Post-Chorus]

   D          A   F#m    (E)
Oh don't you?
   D          A   F#m    (E)
Oh don't you?
       D            A         F#m               E
In the night we are wild eyed,  and you got me now
        D              A         F#m               E
Dim the lights, we are wild eyed,  and you got me now


[Outro]

       D         A         F#m
In the night I'm wild eyed,  and you got me now
