Intro: Cadd9  G  Em7  D Cadd9  G  D 

Cadd9         G       Em7           D 
Laughs in the mirror, cries now and then 
Cadd9          G           D 
Ten miles from home in the rain 
Cadd9         G            Em7         D 
She'd like to call him but he's always gone 
     Ca99       G             D 
He's fallen for something and not someone 


Cadd9           G        Em7        D 
Dreams are like driving, hope is surreal 
Cadd9          G              D 
Each time they kiss she knows just how he feels 
         Cadd9             G              Em7         D 
Not even close to what she wanted, reciprocation's forgone  
    Cadd9           G             D 
And she's left with sounds on the road 

 
Em7       G 
Roses are black 
Cadd9     D         Em7         G         D 
Loving is dying for someone who doesn't deserve 
Em7         G 
Finders are keepers 
    Cadd9        D            Em7    Em/F#  G 
But losing would bring her to you 
             Em7  Em/F#   G   
Bring her to you 


Addicted to comfort with a heart that's been hewn 
While the noise from the TV fights its way through her room 
It's what quitting is to cancer you've got answers in spades 
But you go with what's easy 'cause it makes you feel safe 

Em7       G 
Roses are black 
Cadd9     D         Em7         G         D 
Loving is dying for someone who doesn't deserve 
Em7         G 
Finders are keepers 
    Cadd9        D            Em7    Em/F#  G 
But losing would bring her to you 
             Em7  Em/F#   G   
Bring her to you 

     Em7                      D                          Cadd9  
Some seats are still open but your glass is half full my dear 
Em7             C                     Cadd9 
Leaving is easy once you've decided to listen to what we both hear 


Em7       G 
Roses are black 
Cadd9     D         Em7         G         D 
Loving is dying for someone who doesn't deserve 
Em7         G 
Finders are keepers 
    Cadd9        D            Em7    Em/F#  G 
But losing would bring her to you 
             Em7  Em/F#   G   
Bring her to you
