[Intro]
C#m F#m Gm F#m Gm F#m Gm F#m Gm
 
 
[Verse 1]
F#m
Stand still man you'd better not flinch
F#m
Vase full of gasoline and a seven year itch
F#m
It's vast out here in no-mans land
F#m
All you got left is in your hands
 
 
[Chorus]
     D#m     E   F             F#m
Dead flowers, I got 'em by the dozen
     D#m     E   F              F#m
Dead flowers, ain't no discussion
 
D                          F#m
Black roses without water
                             C#m
Can't live here for too long
                            F#m
Anytime I try to call her, the phone rings on and on and on
D                          F#m
Black roses petals falling. I know there is something wrong
C#m                                    C#5    D5 C#5   D5 C#5         F#m
When you see it's me who's calling, the phone rings on and one and on
 
 
[Bridge]
F#m  G F#m G
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#m
Taking my troubles from door to door
F#m
No one wants to know about it anymore
F#m
Another one closes, slammed in my face
F#m
But I keep knocking just in case
 
 
[Chorus]
     D#m     E   F             F#m
Dead flowers, I got 'em by the dozen
     D#m     E   F              F#m
Dead flowers, ain't no discussion
 
D                          F#m
Black roses without water
                             C#m
Can't live here for too long
                            F#m
Anytime I try to call her, the phone rings on and on and on
 
D                          F#m
Black roses petals falling. I know there is something wrong
C#m                                    C#5    D5 C#5   D5 C#5         F#m
When you see it's me who's calling, the phone rings on and one and on
 
 
[Bridge]
F#m G F#m G
 
E                                   D#        D5      F#5        F#m
 Made a deal with a devil, now it's time to stand and be counted
A                           D#m   D5           F#
 Dug your own grave and you can't do a thing about it
 
C#5
 
 
[Solo]
F#5
 
 
[Verse 3]
F#m
Handful of petals strewn across the bed
F#m
Lost in a moment, forgot what was said
F#m
Nothing more evil than a woman scorned
F#m
I'm laying here bleeding with my crown of thorns
 
 
[Chorus]
     D#m     E   F             F#m
Dead flowers, I got 'em by the dozen
     D#m     E   F              F#m
Dead flowers, ain't no discussion
 
D                          F#m
Black roses without water
                             C#m
Can't live here for too long
                            F#m
Anytime I try to call her, the phone rings on and on and on
 
D                          F#m
Black roses petals falling. I know there is something wrong
C#m                                    C#5    D5 C#5   D5 C#5         F#m
When you see it's me who's calling, the phone rings on and one and on
