F#m                      A
see the same old crowd again
Bm                  D
wash my hands and shake my feet
F#m        A
and yes I missed you all
 E                                           D
since I last saw you I fell down the rabbit hole

As I wonder what we'd be like
Wrapped up, so up tight with you
Lust will do funny things
I don't want you to go out looking so good

                  F#m E F#m D
and you look soo good

Chorus:
   E          D         A          E            F#m     E
Rosie well I feel your love and I want you to agree to be
       D         A       E     F#m    E
Still take your time to get to me, Rosie

She looked away as I mentioned my name
The street lights light up my shame
The world can take you and swallow you whole

But you're a big girl and I think that you already know
You've been bought and sold
Be careful with me
I see all that you see

And Troy died in a day for little Rosie

Chorus:
Rosie
Well, I feel your love and I want you to agree
To be
Still take your time, roll your stone to me
Rosie, oh

Gonna find you now, I'll walk the beat
And you'll do me a pirouette in the street
And although we'll fall, we'll find our feet
Rosie, oh
Well, I wanted you so easily
Illusions past and now I see
An image is so different to reality
Rosie
Yeah, Ro-Rosie, oh
