	C           G 
Verse I - I'm rotting inside
                 F	       C	
             My flesh turns to dust
	    F              Fm            C
	Whisper, ?are you dying?? in my ear
	(Riff  I) 	
	I'm so sick to death
	Tumors in my head
	Whisper, ?are you dying?? in my ear

          Ab5               C5
Chorus - Black rose of death
	Ab5             C5
	In my fist I clutch
	Ab5               C5
	Thorns shred my finger tips
             Ab5              G5
	And drips toxic blood

Verse II (Same chords as Verse I) - 
Kiss me one last time
Wipe off my sweat
Whisper, ?are you dying?? in my ear
As my bones they rust
20 pounds of trust
Whisper, ?are you dying?? in my ear

Chorus - Black rose of death
	In my fist I clutch
	Thorns shred my finger tips
	And drips toxic blood




Verse III (Outro) - (Same chords as Verses I and II) - 
I'm rotting inside
My flesh turns to dust
Whisper, ?are you dying?? in my ear
Kiss me one last time
Wipe off my sweat
Whisper, ?are you dying?? in my ear
Whisper, ?are you dying?? in my ear
