F#m B C#m F#m
Rose left the station with nothing at all but her
clothes and the scars on her wrists
She was hungry and cold and dressed like a doll
A photograph clenched in her fist
C#m F#m C#m
F#m
And she was on her own, she was on her own
B F#m
And I took her home in the back of my car
G# A B
‘Cause I had a room and she had my heart
She married my brother the first week in May and bore
him two kids in July
They rented a house out on Nevergreen Way
And spent all their money on wine
And they argued, Lord how they argued
And I watched them fight and I hoped they would part
‘Cause I had a room and she had my heart
B F#m B F#m
In my dreams I am falling down, in my dreams I am
falling down
D E F#m E D F#m
In my dreams I don’t know who I am and that’s not right
Rose got a job waiting tables at night and I stopped in
after work
We got angry and drunk and we started to fight
Then she kissed me and I lifted her skirt
And she wanted me, she said she wanted me
And I should have left little Rose in the dark
But I had a room and she had my heart
Chorus
D F#m E
Rose left her kids with a note on the back of the photo
D F#m E
Moved into my room, laid down on my bed and oh
B F#m B F#m
But Rose wouldn’t talk to me, little Rose couldn’t look
at me
D E F#m E D
F#m
‘Cause Rose wanted something from me and it’s not love –
not this time
Rose loved her kids, called them Bucket and Spade and
tattooed their names on her heart
But she hid behind doors ‘cause she was afraid
Of a man she’d loved in the past
And he was coming, she said he’s coming
And I called her a cheat, and I called her a liar
‘Cause not that she’s mind there’s no room in my heart
In my dreams I have fallen down
In my dreams I have fallen down
In my dreams I don’t like who I am
And that’s not right
A E D
That’s not all right
F#m E D D – E – F#m
No, no that’s – that’s not right
