[Verse 1]
C
Your father sat with the night's first drink
F
Your mother washed the dishes in the sink
G
You stood on the steps, wearing your best
C
One red rose on a new black dress
[Verse 2]
C
When we walked under the powerlines
F
I dreamed about it a thousand times
G
You weren't like the rest
C
One red rose on a new black dress
[Chorus]
F C
One red rose on a new black dress
F C
Crushing it between our chests
G
Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be
C
One dead rose is all I see
[Verse 3]
C
We hid in the weeds and we hid in the grass
F
Listening to the cars on the highway pass
G
Then you put me to the test
C
One red rose on a new black dress

Then you said we could never come back
F
And walked awax through the housing tract
G
Leaving me with what's left

One red rose from a new black dress
[Chorus]

One red rose on a new black dress

Crushing it between our chests

Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be
