Love song for a dying girl.

INTRO (Guitar lick begins and rolls into descending bass line)
Asus2 (4 beats) Gsus2 (4 beats) 2x (002200/20033)

VERSE 1
Empty bottle on the shelf, Asus2 Gsus2
At the bottom, is where I found myself. Asus2 Gsus2
Little agony, little pain, Asus2 Gsus2 (Sax Enters)
Each day reminds me, the pain is not the same. Asus2 Gsus2

CHORUS 1 (Trombone Enters)
But I treasure every agony, CM7 (4 beats) (032000)
‘Cause I am still alive. Gsus2 (4 beats) (300033)
And I count every breath I breathe, CM7
’Cause I have still not died. Gsus2 (300033)
White roses Dsus2(stop) (000230) on my mind.

Asus2 (4 beats) Gsus2 (4 beats) 2x

VERSE 2
Lost lovers, lost friends, Asus2 Gsus2
Silent arguments, the good things always end. Asus2 Gsus2

CHORUS 2
But now as my breath escapes CM7
Those regrets escape their binds. Gsus2
Those regrets, they escalate, CM7
‘Cause I’ve run out of time. Gsus2 Dsus2 (stop)
White roses on my mind.

SAX LEAD OVER VERSE AND CHORUS (E MAJOR PENTATONIC)

VERSE 3
No place to lay those flowers this last time. Asus2 Gsus2
Soft petals fall as the tears you are cryin’. Asus2 Gsus2

CHORUS 3
And you wish, that those thorns of mine, CM7
Still could make you bleed. Gsus2
Place those flowers, in the bottle, CM7
That you may someday need. Gsus2 Dsus2 (stop)
White roses on your mind.

OUTRO (Vocals on “Ah” Harmony with Trombone)
Asus2 (4 beats) Gsus2 (4 beats) 2x
CM7add4add6 (4 beats) Gsus2 Dsus2 (4 beats) 2x
White roses on your mind. Asus2 on “mind”
