Verse 1
B 
Purple and scarred 
E                                  B 
It's the color that will be on my heart, my heart, my heart 
                                     E 
When you are done and dusting with me 
B            E                                 B 
I fall apart when I wash your touches off of my skin, my skin, my skin 
                                    E 
I know you're tired of sticking to me 
 
Chorus
B 
Why am I deep in black roses? 
E 
Dateless doses 
B                     E 
I'm falling victim to black roses 
 
Verse 2
           B 
I've got a diamond desire 
 
Gonna step into the blue fire 
E 
Touching your lips with my skin 
 
I'm on another level 
B              E 
I can't let go 
              B 
Sat in the garden of sin, like an angel with the dirty wings 
E 
Tainted by tastes of the soul, this is another level 
B         E 
I need to know 
 
Chorus
B 
Why am I deep in black roses? 
E 
Dateless doses 
B                     E 
I'm falling victim to black roses 
B            E 
Black roses, black roses 
B                     E 
I'm falling victim to black roses 
 
Bridge
E 
You're turning me off 
B 
Out of phase and into focus you keep turning me on 
E                                        B 
You're turning me on, you're turning me off

B              E 
Black roses, going down down down 
B             E 
Black roses, going down down down 
B             E 
Black roses, black roses
