Kiss From A Rose

Words & Music:

Seal

E                          CM7    D           E

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.

You became the light on the dark side of me.

Love remains a drug that's the high and not the pill.

        E                 Em       CM7         D

Did you know that when it snows my eyes become large

        CM7            D              E

And the light that you shine can't be seen?

 

CHORUS:

E                        CM7         D           E

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray

E                 CM7     D           E

The more I get of you the stranger it feels, yeah

E             CM7        D        CM7            D            E

Now that your rose is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the gray

 

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say.

You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby.

To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.

Won't you tell me is that healthy, babe?

But did you know that when it snows my eyes become large

And the light that you shine can't be seen?

 

CHORUS:

 

D         A           G           D

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray.

D         A           G

I've been kissed by a rose.

D         A           G           D

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray.

D         A           G           E

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray.

 

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say.

You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby.

To me you're like a growin' addiction that I can't deny.

Won't you tell me is that healthy, babe?

But did you know that when it snows my eyes become large

And the light that you shine can't be seen?

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

 

[n.c.]

Now that your rose is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the gray.
