Nick Lowe – Stoplight Roses chords ver. 2

        EYou've practiced and rehearsed
    C#mBut in your heart you know
     F#m             A           BIt's too late.
FmExperience should tell you
B                     A   ENever get your story too straight.
      A            You'd better steel yourself
      G#mAnd prepare for
     C#m        F#mSome blues to descend
               A'Cause you've broken something this time
B                     EStoplight roses can't mend.

       EYou've dusted off your shame face
       C#m                        Fm          A    BIn the mirror behind the bathroom door.
     F#mThat little-boy-lost look 
     BThat used to work so well
        A  EDoesn't anymore.
   A                                G#mIf you believe your same-old used-to-be
     C#m     F#mWill see you through
       A                     B             EYou'll last about as long as stoplight roses do.

E         F#MStoplight roses
B             EIn their sad array.
                  ALove's promise in cellophane lace
B           EOr dead giveaway?
A                    G#mYou'll need time to devise
C#m       F#mA stylish plan
           A                  BAnd you'll do it driving over to
                    EThe stoplight roses man.

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