Intro: C  Cadd9 C 
         G                C 
Red roses just won't work now 


           G            Am 
Here we go once again 
            G        F                C 
You've been gone and here you stand 
                  G              F       G  Am7 G7/B C 
With a dozen "I'm sorrys" in your hand 
               G               Am 
Victim of your potent charms  
           G         F           C 
I took you back with open arms   
                   G             F        G 
But along with the roses came the thorns 


 
    Am7    G7/B C         G     Am    G   F         C 
And that's why   red roses just won't work now  
                           G   Am   G     F         C 
'Cause you've done too much to talk things out  
                      G    
You could tell me you love me 
               Am             C ~   F      ~ C 
But that's the one thing I'll always doubt  
         G               C 
Red roses just won't work now
