B                      E
I used to love it when roses would come
    B                                   F#
The card always read, "You're my number one"
    B                           E
But love never goes the way one supposes
    B                   F#   B
And I will forever hate ros- es

B                    E
You sent me roses, I thought it was nice
B                                   F#
Opened the card and it read, "Good- bye"
B                                E
You're movin' on as this chapter closes
    B                   F#   B
And I will forever hate ros- -es

[Chorus]

E
I'll never see a rose from now on
     B                                    F#
That will not remind me that you're real- -ly gone
E                                      B
Don't trust the rose for the danger it poses
E           B         F#   B
I will for- ever hate ros- -es
 
    C                       F
The fragrance of roses will last throughout time
      C                                 G
Their beauty will linger, but not in my mind
    C                                      F
No, I'll love the daisies, the tulips, the posies
    C                   G    C
But I will forever hate ros- -es

[Chorus]

    F
And I'll never see a rose from now own
     C                              Adim  G
That will not remind me that you're real- ly gone
        F                                        C
Oh, and don't trust the rose for the pain it im- poses
F           C    C/A  G    C
I will for- ever hate ros- es

[Tag]

    F                                C
Now you're movin' on as this chapter closes
    F           C    C/A  G    C
And I will for- ever hate ros- es
     F           C         G    F
Yes, I will for- ever hate ros- -es
