Rosanne Cash - Roses In The Fire

roses in the fire

Bm G
i throw your roses in the fire to make the flames a little higher
Bm G
i watch your roses turn to dust , i know no man that i can trust
Bm G
i throw your roses in the fire cause i burn up with pity and desire
Bm G F#m
i’ll be your vision dressed in black who won’t be back

G C D
another woman’s on the telephone , pick it up tell her you’re home
G C D
i see your face turn into broken glass talking slow , thinking fast

i throw your roses in the fire , no one could say i didn’t try
i watch your roses fall like tears i’ve crawled this path for all these years
i throw your roses in the fire to burn away the old desire
we were a desperate pair of soul , so let me go

another woman has her point of view
let her talk now that we’re through
i see your face retreat behind the glass
listening slow , sinking fast

C D
oh i’ll kill you if we can’t be friends
C D
i’ll bleed like diamonds running through your hands
C D
i’ll be a bitter taste you can’t forget
C Bm
and i won’t leave this world until you relent
