I don't want you to hold me tight
CaddF C G
Till you're mine to hold
D G D7 G
And I don't even want you to stay all night
CaddF C D
Just untill the moon turns cold
G Bm C D G
All I need is black roses white rhythm and blues
Bm C D G
And somebody who cares when you lose
G Bm C D G Em G Em
Black roses white rhythm and blues
D G D7 G
You say that somebody really loves you
CaddF C G
You'd find her if you just knew how
D G D7 G
But honey everyone is the whole wide world
CaddF C D
Is probably asleep by now
G Bm C D G
All I need is black roses white rhythm and blues
Bm C D G
And somebody who cares when you lose
G Bm C D G Em G Em
Black roses white rhythm and blues
C D G G/F# Em C D G
Close your eyes sleep away all your blues
C D G Em
I've done everything but lie
A D
Now I don't know what else I can do
SOLO
D G D G
Ah the night time sighs and I hear myself
Cadd4 C G
But the words just stick in my throat
D G D G
Would you think that somebody like me
Cadd4 C D
Might have hurt much more than it shows
G Bm C D G
All I need is black roses white rhythm and blues
Bm C D G
And somebody who cares when you lose
G Bm C D G Em G Em
Black roses white rhythm and blues
