J.D. Souther White Rhythm & Blues written by J.D. Souther
I don't want you to hold me tight
CaddF
Till you're mine to hold
And I don't even want you to stay all night
CaddF
Just untill the moon turns cold
All I need is black roses white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses white rhythm and blues
You say that somebody really loves you
CaddF
You'd find her if you just knew how
But honey everyone is the whole wide world
CaddF
Is probably asleep by now
All I need is black roses white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses white rhythm and blues
Close your eyes sleep away all your blues
I've done everything but lie
Now I don't know what else I can do
SOLO
Ah the night time sighs and I hear myself
Cadd4
But the words just stick in my throat
Would you think that somebody like me
Cadd4
Might have hurt much more than it shows
All I need is black roses white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses white rhythm and blues
