Long stem rose

E C#m F#m B
My long stem rose won't sit on the mantelpiece
E C#m F#m B
she's not disposed to being one of a dozen she's
E A
a living thing that's bound to get tired
B E A C#m
she won't be content just being admired funny thats the way it goes
C#m B E
when you're like a long stem rose
my long stem rose were you cut down in your prime
my love still grows for the flower I call mine
are you doomed to die after the spring time 
have I just become a thorn in your side 
funny that's the way it goes when you love a long stem rose 
strings over verse
My long stem rose I know you won't last too long 
You'll shed your clothes your petals fall then you're gone
in another garden growing so sweetly in an endless summer
forgetting about mewonder where you are who knows
in another bed I suppose, lying like a long stem rose
my long stem rose .....
