A C G (3x)
D C Em (3x)


[Verse 1]
                D
If you keep changing yourself
      C                     Em
then soon you'll be somebody else
         D
and the end of the string
            C                               Em
would be a rose, is a rose, it is a dying thing


[Chorus]
       A        C  G           A             C  G
While all I can promise is to stay like this always
        A         C     G        D    C   Em
and by all other names just as sweet


[Verse 2]
        D
I wish all you would wish
        C                               Em
was a house with a yard full of flying fish
        D
and the bell that I'd ring
            C                               Em
would be a rose, is a rose, it could be anything


[Chorus]
       A        C  G           A             C  G
While all I can promise is to stay like this always
        A         C     G         A     G
and by all other names just as sweet

[Bridge]
         A       C G           A       C  G
I will crack you open just to keep you closer
          A           C       G       A C G
'cause without you a rose is just a rose
              A        C G         A
and I will swallow the vomit just to keep you
C G             A             C G
coming 'cause without you i'm so hollow
