Couldn't find it, so here it is.

EYou've practiced and rehearsed it
     E+                         F#m       F#m/F  F#m/EBut in your heart you know It's too late. 
  B               B/F#Experience should tell you 
B       B/F#           A    E  Never get your story too straight. 
      AYou'd better steel yourself 
       AmAnd prepare for 
     E        F#Some blues to descend 
              F#m                        B'Cause you've broken something this time 
                      E       F#m     BStoplight roses can't mend. 
 
       E        You've dusted off your shame face 
       E+                         F#m     F#m/F  F#m/EIn the mirror behind the bathroom door. 
     B          B/F#That little-boy-lost look 
     B               B/F#         A  EThat used to work so well Doesn't anymore. 
   A                         AmIf you believe your same-old used-to-be 
     E       F#Will see you through 
       F#m                  B                EYou'll last about as long as stoplight roses do. 

          F#mStoplight roses 
 B7                      E   E7    In their sad array. 
                  ALove's promise in cellophane lace 
 B7                 E          E7       Or dead giveaway? 
A                       Am   You'll need time to devise
E               F#      A stylish plan
           F#m   And you'll do it driving over to 
B                          E      E7       The stoplight roses man. 


       A                          AmAnd if you believe your same-old used-to-be 
E                   F#       Will see you through 
       F#m                   B               EYou'll last about as long as stoplight roses do.
