Elliott Smith - Coming Up Roses

intro F G# D# Dm C# G# A# C# G# A# C# D#

[ G# ] i’m a junkyard full [ A# ] of false starts
[ C# ] and i don’t need your [ G# ] permission
to [ A# ] bury my [ C# ] love under this [ G# ] bare light [ A# ] bulb

[ C# ] the [ Fm ] moon is A [ A# ] sickle [ C# ] cell
[ Fm ] it’ll [ A# ] kill you in [ C ] time
your [ C# ] cold white [ Fm ] brother [ A# ] riding your [ C# ] blood
like [ C ] spun glass in sore eyes

[ F ] while the [ G# ] moon does [ D# ] its di [ Dm ] vision you’re buried be [ C# ] low
and you’re coming up [ G# ] ros [ A# ] es [ C# ] every [ G# ] where you [ A# ] go
red [ C# ] roses [ D# ] follow

instrumental G# A# C# G# A# C# G# A#

[ C# ] the [ Fm ] things that you [ A# ] tell your [ C# ] self
[ Fm ] they’ll [ A# ] kill you in [ C ] time
your [ C# ] cold white [ Fm ] brother A [ A# ] live in your [ C# ] blood
[ C ] spinning in the night sky

[ F ] while the [ G# ] moon does [ D# ] its di [ Dm ] vision you’re buried be [ C# ] low
and you’re coming up [ G# ] ros [ A# ] es [ C# ] every [ G# ] where you [ A# ] go
red [ C# ] ros [ C ] es

[ F ] so you [ G# ] got in A [ D# ] kind of [ Dm ] trouble that nobody [ C# ] knows
it’s coming up [ G# ] ros [ A# ] es [ C# ] every [ G# ] where you [ A# ] go
red [ C# ] ros [ C ] es
