Still got the flowers that you sent

Pre-chorus 1

Ebm

I don't know why I keep letting you lie to me

Hard as I try, it seems I can't breakaway

Ebm

I thought that you would be the hero,

come and save the day

But you're a villain,

your sins aren't forgiven

movin' on, it's now or never

Love brings you flowers,
then it builds you coffins
B 
And far too often,
Gb 
Db 
we end up falling to  our demise
