C#m7              F#m7
Think about your lips and the way they kiss
            B                   E
There's so much I really miss about you
C#m7            F#m7
Sitting on the beach, you were still in reach
       B                 E
And I haven't felt free without you

B/D#       C#m7           F#m7
All of the memories feel like magic
            B                  E
All of the fighting seems so sweet
            C#m7                F#m7
All that we were, my love, was tragic
                B                 E  B/D#
And you're the last thing that I need

Chorus:
C#m7        F#m7
So I lay a dozen roses
B             E
For the lover that I've lost
C#m7       F#m7
I stand by all my choices
B              E
Even though I paid the cost
    C#m7              F#m7
Oh, all those nights, the lows and highs
    B             E       B/D#
I share them all with you
C#m7         F#m7
So I lay a dozen roses
B
I lay them there,
            C#m7         F#m7 B E
I lay them there for you

You've been on my mind every single night
I can't visualize life without you
I've been tryin' to go a week without losing sleep
But there's something that I need to go through

All of the memories feel like magic
All of the fighting seems so sweet
All that we were, my love, was tragic
And you're the last thing that I need

Chorus - x2
