verse 1 
                       A 
I wonder what you're thinking 
                    F#m 
Staring through the rain 

Going through our baby names 
 E                            A 
Your husband thinks you're sleeping 
               F#m 
At a motorway hotel 
                   D                         Esus4 
He doesn't know tonight you're flying out of hell 

        D                    E 
Be my rose, growing in the cold 
        A           C#m7     F#m 
Be my light in the window at home 
       D                  E 
Be my sun, rising in the sky 
       A        C#m7     F#m 
Be my time bomb lover, tonight 

verse 2 
                              A 
You're turning on your phone now 
                     F#m 
Your hands begin to shake 
                       D                     E 
I'm just across the harbour bridge you say 
                         A 
I flew out here to tell you 
                          F#m 
I couldn't hold your pain then 
               D                      Esus4 
Day by day I waited for your heart to mend 

       D                    E 
Be my rose, growing in the cold 
        A           C#m7      F#m 
Be my light in the window at home 
       D                  E 
Be my sun, rising in the sky 
        A        C#m7    F#m 
Be my time bomb lover, tonight 

       D                    E 
Be my rose, growing in the cold 
        A           C#m7      F#m 
Be my light in the window at home 
       D                  E 
Be my sun, rising in the sky 
       A         C#m7   F#m 
Be my time bomb lover, tonight
