Tenille Townes – I Kept The Roses chords

[Verse 1]
DI tore all the pictures, from all of their frames
EmAnd all of your t-shirts, I gave them away
A                        A7I gave up those friends, we both hung around
G                         AI gave up that bar on the east side of town

DQuit drivin’ by to, see if you’re home
EmAnd I took your dad’s number right out of my phone
A                    A7                     DI came to my senses, and I gave up drinkin’ alone

[Chorus]
               G                  DBut I kept the roses, right by my bed
                      F#mAnd they sure make me lonely
                   ABut I’m smilin’ instead
                      Em‘Cause you weren’t the one babe
               BmBut you were the closest
                     G   AI let the rest of us go
               G    DBut I kept the roses

[Verse 2]
DI guess they remind me of how love can feel
EmSometimes it don’t work, doesn’t mean it ain’t real
A                           A7We had something different, we had something great
    G                    A7But somethings just wilt away

[Chorus]
               G                  DBut I kept the roses, right by my bed
                      F#mAnd they sure make me lonely
                   ABut I’m smilin’ instead
                      Em‘Cause you weren’t the one babe
               BmBut you were the closest
                     G   AI let the rest of us go
               G    DBut I kept the roses

[Bridge]
D  La la la la
Em  La la la la
A             A7               D  La la la la la la la la la la

[Chorus]
               G                  DBut I kept the roses, right by my bed
                      F#mAnd they sure make me lonely
                   ABut I’m smilin’ instead
                      Em‘Cause you weren’t the one babe
               BmBut you were the closest
                     G   AI let the rest of us go
               G    DBut I kept the roses

[Outro]
                     G  AI let the rest of us go
               G    DBut I kept the roses
