C    F    C   F
[Verse 1]
C
Purple and scarred
F                                  C
It's the color that will be on my heart, my heart, my heart
                                     F
When you are done and dusting with me
C            F                                 C
I fall apart when I wash your touches off of my skin, my skin, my skin
                                    F
I know you're tired of sticking to me


[Chorus]
C
Why am I deep in black roses?
F
Dateless doses
C                     F
I'm falling victim to black roses


[Verse 2]
           C
I've got a diamond desire

Gonna step into the blue fire
F
Touching your lips with my skin

I'm on another level
C              F
I can't let go
              C
Sat in the garden of sin, like an angel with the dirty wings
F
Tainted by tastes of the soul, this is another level
C         F
I need to know


[Chorus]
C
Why am I deep in black roses?
F
Dateless doses
C                     F
I'm falling victim to black roses
C            F
Black roses, black roses
C                     F
I'm falling victim to black roses


[Bridge]
F
You're turning me off
C
Out of phase and into focus you keep turning me on
F                                        C
You're turning me on, you're turning me off


[Breakdown]
               F
Black roses, going down down down
C              F
Black roses, going down down down
C             F
Black roses, going down down down
C             F
Black roses, black roses


[Chorus]
C
Deep in black roses
F
Dateless doses
C                     F
I'm falling victim to black roses
C            F
Black roses, black roses
C                     F
I'm falling victim to black roses
C            F
Black roses, black roses
C                     F
I'm falling victim to black roses
C             F           C
Black roses, black roses, black roses
