BmAG
Everything was mine but it's long stripped away
ABm
I stand here naked as the stars and silent as a grave
AG
If you see who I really am or you still wanna stay
AD
There's a danger in this love and I wanna be that grave
DEmGAD
Bells and roses, a sign of departure but I love them just the same
DEmGABm
Bells and roses, a sign of survival on the door into this pain
Now I'll go and if you say I must but I rather let it go
The people I will never trust and the things that I can't know
Kiss you until we turn to stone I'll fight you till we're blind
But you love me when you're left alone and it makes me wanna die
Bells and roses, if they wake up the senses to remind me who I am
Bells and roses, the gifts of the spirit shall not be squandered on one man
Everything was mine but it's long stripped away
Will you love me if I'm naked or I'm silent as a grave
You don't have to answer now but you might learn to pray
And I'll step down off this cross into a life that I can change
Bells and roses, they fill up the silence in the place where he once laid
Bells and roses a sign of survival and the price I had to pay
Bells and roses, Bells and roses
