[Verse 1]
D
I tore all the pictures, from all of their frames
Em
And all of your t-shirts, I gave them away
A A7
I gave up those friends, we both hung around
G A
I gave up that bar on the east side of town
D
Quit drivin’ by to, see if you’re home
Em
And I took your dad’s number right out of my phone
A A7 D
I came to my senses, and I gave up drinkin’ alone
[Chorus]
G D
But I kept the roses, right by my bed
F#m
And they sure make me lonely
A
But I’m smilin’ instead
Em
‘Cause you weren’t the one babe
Bm
But you were the closest
G A
I let the rest of us go
G D
But I kept the roses
[Verse 2]
D
I guess they remind me of how love can feel
Em
Sometimes it don’t work, doesn’t mean it ain’t real
A A7
We had something different, we had something great
G A7
But somethings just wilt away
[Chorus]
G D
But I kept the roses, right by my bed
F#m
And they sure make me lonely
A
But I’m smilin’ instead
Em
‘Cause you weren’t the one babe
Bm
But you were the closest
G A
I let the rest of us go
G D
But I kept the roses
[Bridge]
D
La la la la
Em
La la la la
A A7 D
La la la la la la la la la la
[Chorus]
G D
But I kept the roses, right by my bed
F#m
And they sure make me lonely
A
But I’m smilin’ instead
Em
‘Cause you weren’t the one babe
Bm
But you were the closest
G A
I let the rest of us go
G D
But I kept the roses
[Outro]
G A
I let the rest of us go
G D
But I kept the roses
