Red Like Roses Part 2

[Verse 1]
Bm
  I couldn't take it,
couldn't stand another minute
                                           G5
Couldn't bear another day without you in it
                                               E5
All of the joy that I had known for all my life
                          F#5             G5      Bm
Was stripped away from me the minute that you died
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
But now without you,
                          G5
I'm a soul forever haunted
                                                    E5
Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted
                      F#5         G5          Bm
No way in hell that I can ever comprehend this
I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
                                                      G5
I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
    E5                 F#5           G5            C      Bm
Now I'm trapped inside a  nightmare every single f'ing day
It's like a movie,
but there's not a happy ending
Every scene fades black,
and there's no pretending
G5
This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
           F#5
There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from
         E5
the spell

[Pre-Chorus]
E5                  Bm       E5
  I know you didn't plan this
                       Bm   E5
You tried to do what's right
                          Bm                 C
But in the middle of this madness I'm the one
Cm                 F#5
  left to win this fight

[Chorus]
Bm Bm    G5
Red like roses
         E5                   F#5   G5 A
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Bm     G5
Always closer
       E5
To the emptiness and sadness
         F#5              G5   A  Bm Bm
That has come to take the place of   you

[Verse 2]
I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness
                                                     G5
You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness
Wish I could talk to you,
                    E5
if only for a minute
                    F#5             G5      Bm
Make you understand the reasons why I did it
I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered
Want you to know that, for eternity,
             G5
I'm shattered
I tried so hard just to protect you,
               E5
but I failed to
                   F#5         G5             Bm
And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you
I never planned that I would leave you there alone
                                                        G5
I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home
And all the times I swore that it would be okay
    E5              F#5
Now I'm nothing but a  liar,
    G5                 C       Bm
and you're thrown into the fray
This bedtime story ends with misery ever after
The pages are torn,
and there's no final chapter
G5
I didn't have a choice,
I did what I had to do
         F#5
I made a sacrifice,
                                    E5
but forced a bigger sacrifice on you

[Pre-Chorus]
E5                      Bm       E5
  I know you've lived a nightmare
                     Bm
I caused you so much pain
E5
  But, baby,
                     Bm                C
please don't do what I did I don't want
Cm
                          F#5
You to waste your life in vain

[Chorus]
Bm Bm    G5
Red like roses
         E5                   F#5   G5 A
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Bm     G5
Always closer
       E5
To the emptiness and sadness
         F#5              G5   A  E5 E5
That has come to take the place of   you

[Bridge]
                            Bm
You're not the only one who needed me;
                   E5   Bm E5
I thought you understood
                 Bm
Would I change it  if I could?
       G5            F#5
It doesn't matter how
           G5         F#5
The petals scatter now
      E5                F#5
Every nightmare just discloses
          G5                    A
It's your blood that's red like roses
       E5            F#5
And no matter what I do 
        G5             A        E5 E5
Nothing ever takes the place of you
