Verse 
Am 
I never knew 
F 
The man you were. 
C 
I never knew 
Em7 
Why she loved you. 

Am 
I couldn’t see 
F 
Past those dark blank stares. 
C 
What kind of thoughts 
Em7 
Ran thoughts your head? 

Pre-Chorus 
F 
I had hoped 
C 
It wouldn’t last. 
Am 
And now my nightmares 
Em7 
Are things of the past. 


Am 
Your roses, 
F 
I watched them wither 
C 
As you 
Em7 
Fell to pieces. 

Am 
The birds stop. 
F 
Your hands drop 
C 
As you leave behind 
Em7 
All you once treated kind. 

Verse 
Am 
So many years 
F 
I lived in fear. 
C 
So many hours 
Em7 
Spent in tears. 

Am 
You were a 
F 
Stranger in my home. 
C 
But still, I’d never 
Em7 
Leave you alone. 

Pre-Chorus 
F 
I had hoped 
C 
It wouldn’t last. 
Am 
And now my nightmares 
Em7 
Are things of the past. 

 
Am 
Your roses, 
F 
I watched them wither 
C 
As you 
Em7 
Fell to pieces. 

Am 
The birds stop. 
F 
Your hands drop 
C 
As you leave behind 
Em7 
All you once treated kind. 

Bridge 
F 
I’m so glad 
G7 
I knew you. 
F 
I’m so glad 
G7 
You knew me too. 
F 
I’m so glad 
G7 
I knew you. 
F 
And now I know 
G7 
Why she loved you. 


Am 
Your roses, 
F 
I watched them blossom 
C 
As you 
Em7 
Came back to us. 

Am 
The birds chirp. 
F 
Your hands work 
C 
As you revive 
Em7 
All you left behind.
