Violets For Roses Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]There's something in the air
The [Am]girls are running 'round
in summer [G]dresses
With their [Em]masks off
And it [Bm]makes me so [C]happy
[G]Larchmont village smells
like [C]lilies of the [G]valley
And the [D]bookstore doors are opening
And it's [C]finally [D]happening

[Pre-chorus 1]
[C]Ever since I fell out of love [Am]with you
I fell back in [D]love with [G]me
And [Am]boy, does it feel [D]sweet
Like a summer breeze
[C]Ever since I fell out of love [Am]with you
I fell [Em]back in [D]love with the [G]city
Like the [C]Paramount sign's sparkling
[B]Sparkling jus[Em]t for me[D]

[Chorus 1]
[G]You made me trade my vio[Am] lets for rose[Em]s
[G]You tried to trade in my new[B] truck for hor[C]ses
[G]Don't forget all of these thi[C]ngs that you lov[Bm]e
Are the [Am]same things I hate
[C]A simple lif[D]e, I cho[Em]se this
[G]You made me trade my vio[Am] lets for rose[Em]s
[G]You tried to take all the pin[B]k off my toe[C]s and
[G]God knows the only mistak[C]e
that a [Bm]man can m[Am]ake
Is trying to make a woman [B]change

[Interlude 1]
And trade her violets for [C](roses)
Ah-[G]laa-ha, ah-[D]ha
Trade her [B]violets for [C]roses
Ah-[G]laa-ha, ah-[D]ha

[Verse 2]
[G]There's something in the air
I [Am]hope it doesn't change,
that it's for [G]real
The be[Em]ginning of [Bm]something big [C]happening
[G]And by the madder alleys
[C]And the streets have [G]ceased
And still the [D]shadows haunt the avenue
The [C]silence is [D]deafening

[Pre-chorus 2]
[C]Ever since I fell out of love [Am]with you
I fell back in [D]love with the [G]streets
And [Am]God, does it feel [D]sweet
Like a summer breeze
[C]Ever since I fell out of love [Am]with you
I break-[Em]dance to [D]the back[G]beat
And [C]God, does it sound sweet
Like it's [B]playing just [Em]for m[D]e

[Chorus 2]
[G]You made me trade my vio[Am] lets for rose[Em]s
[G]You tried to trade in my new[B] truck for hor[C]ses
[G]Don't forget all of these thi[C]ngs that you lov[Bm]e
Are the [Am]same things I hate
[C]A simple lif[D]e, I cho[Em]se this
[G]You made me trade my vio[Am] lets for rose[Em]s
[G]You tried to take all the pin[B]k off my toe[C]s and
[G]God knows the only mistak[C]e
that a [Bm]man can m[Am]ake
Is trying to make a woman [B]change

[Interlude 2]
And trade her violets for [C](roses)
Ah-[G]laa-ha, ah-[D]ha
Trade her [B]violets for [C]roses
Ah-[G]laa-ha, ah-[D]ha
Trade her [B]violets for [C]roses
Ah-[G]laa-ha, ah-[D]ha

[Verse 3]
[G]There's something in the air
The [Am]girls are running 'round
in summer [G]dresses
With their [Em]masks off
And it [Bm]makes me so [C]happy
