Stoplight Roses Nick Lowe
You've p[E]racticed and rehearsed
But [C#m]in your heart you know
It's [F#m]too late.[A] [B]
[Fm]Experience should tell you
[B]Never get your story t[A]oo s[E]traight.
You'd [A]better steel yourself
And pr[G#m]epare for
Some [C#m]blues to de[F#m]scend
'Cause you've b[A]roken something this time
[B]Stoplight roses can't [E]mend.
You've [E]dusted off your shame face
In the [C#m]mirror behind the bathroom [Fm]door.[A] [B]
That [F#m]little-boy-lost look
That [B]used to work so well
Doesn't [A]any[E]more.
If [A]you believe your same-old used-to[G#m]-be
Will [C#m]see you [F#m]through
You'll [A]last about as long as [B]stoplight rose[E]s do.
[E]Stoplight [F#m]roses
[B]In their sad a[E]rray.
Love's promise in [A]cellophane lace
[B]Or dead give[E]away?
[A]You'll need time to d[G#m]evise
[C#m]A stylish [F#m]plan
And you'll [A]do it driving over [B]to
The stoplight roses [E]man.
[E]And if [A]you believe your same-old used-to-[G#m]be
Will [C#m]see you [F#m]through
You'll [A]last about as long a[B]s stoplight roses [E]do.
