[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I [G]wrote
inside my [Bm]yearbook
[C]"To try is to suc[D]ceed
Fried [G]chicken and [Bm]the [G]rumba
The col[C]ors pink and [D]cream"[G]

[Verse 2]
Ninoy was my [B]first love
[Bm]But he said I [B]was too [C]tall
A [G]rich girl stole [B]the sweetheart
Of the [C]Rose [D]of [G]Tac[B]lob[C]an[D][G]

[Verse 3]
The heart grows slightly [Bm]colder
Neces[C]sary to sur[D]vive
And [G]money makes [Bm]it easy
In [C]many people's [D]lives

[Verse 4]
The sky [G]above pro[B]tects us
Don't know [Bm]what I [B]will be[C]come
Or what [G]lies beyond to[B]morrow
For the [C]Rose [D]of [G]Tac[F#m]loban

[Verse 5]
Elegant [B]women on a [E]magazine [F#]page
[B]Elegant [F#]women, like a [Bdim]paper pa[C#dim]rade
[B]I don't go o[F#aug]ut dancing,
[E]I just stay at h[Ebdim]ome[Adim]
[C]Cutting out their [G]faces,
and re[Cm]placing them [C#dim]with my own[G]
[C]Cutting out their [G]faces,
and re[Cm]placing them [C#dim]with my own[G]

[Verse 6]
The sky [G]above pro[B]tects us
Don't know what I will be[C]come
Or what [G]lies beyond to[B]morrow
For the [C]Rose [G]of Tacloban
What lies beyond to[B]morrow
[C]for the [D]Rose—
Of Tacloban
[G]
