I Kept The Roses

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 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 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 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 D La la la la Em La la la la A A7 D La la la la la la la la la la 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 G A I let the rest of us go G D But I kept the roses
