[Intro]
Am Dm G C (x2)

[Verse 1]
Am                Dm7
 Think about your lips
 and the way they kiss
           G            
There's so much I really 
       C
miss about you
Am              Dm7
 Sitting on the beach, 
you were still in reach
      G                     C
And I haven't felt free without you

[Pre-Chorus]
Csus2/B    Am            Dm7
All of the memories feel like magic
           G                 C
All of the fighting seems so sweet
            Am             Dm7
All that we were, my love, was tragic
               G         
And you're the last thing
        C    Csus2/B
 that I need

[Chorus]
Am          Dm7
 So I lay a dozen roses
G              C
 For the lover that I've lost
Am          Dm7
 I stand by all my choices
G              C
 Even though I paid the cost
    Am               Dm7
Oh, all those nights, the 
lows and highs
  G              C        Csus2/B
I share them all with you
Am          Dm7
 So I lay a dozen roses
G                 
 I lay them there,
                 Am      Dm7 G C
 I lay them there for you

[Verse 2]
Am                 Dm7
 You've been on my mind 
every single night
        G                  C
I can't visualise life without you
Am                       Dm7
I've been tryin' to go a week
 without losing sleep
            G             
But there's something that 
           C
I need to go through
