beautiful song . couldn’t find it , so here it is .

E
you’ve practiced and rehearsed it
E+ F#m [ ch ] F#m/F [ /Ch ] [ ch ] F#m/E [ /Ch ]
but in your heart you know it’s too late .
B B/F#
experience should tell you
B B/F# A E
never get your story too straight .
A
you’d better steel yourself
Am
and prepare for
E F#
some blues to descend
F#m B
’cause you’ve broken something this time
E F#m B
stoplight roses can’t mend .

E
you’ve dusted off your shame face
E+ F#m [ ch ] F#m/F [ /Ch ] [ ch ] F#m/E [ /Ch ]
in the mirror behind the bathroom door .
B B/F#
that little – boy – lost look
B B/F# A E
that used to work so well doesn’t anymore .
A Am
if you believe your same – old used – to – be
E F#
will see you through
F#m B E
you’ll last about as long as stoplight roses do .

F#m
stoplight roses
B7 E E7
in their sad array .
A
love’s promise in cellophane lace
B7 E E7
or dead giveaway?
A Am
you’ll need time to devise
E F#
a stylish plan
F#m
and you’ll do it driving over to
B E E7
the stoplight roses man .

A Am
and if you believe your same – old used – to – be
E F#
will see you through
F#m B E
you’ll last about as long as stoplight roses do .
