[Intro]
[G] [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9]
[Verse1]
[G]We both lie silently still, in the dead of [Cadd9]the night.
Although we [G]both lie close together, we feel [Cadd9]miles apart inside.
Was it [G]something I said, or [Cadd9]something I did,
did my [G]words not come out [Cadd9]right?
Though I [D]tried not to hurt you, though
I [C]tried, but I guess that’s why they say
[Chorus]
[G]Every rose has its [Cadd9]thorn.
Just like [G]every night has its [Cadd9]dawn.
Just like e[G]very cow[D]boy sings a sa[C]d, sad s[G]ong.
[G]Every rose has its [C]thorn.
[Instrumental]
[G] [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9]
[Verse2]
[G]Listen to our favorite song, playing on the [Cadd9]radio.
Well the [G]DJ says loves a game of easy come [Cadd9]and easy go.
But I [G]wonder, does he [Cadd9]know, has he e[G]ver felt like t[Cadd9]his.
Well I [D]know that you’d be here right now if I [C]
[C]coulda let you know somehow, I guess
[Chorus]
[G]Every rose has its [Cadd9]thorn.
Just like [G]every night has its [Cadd9]dawn.
Just like e[G]very co[D]wboy sings a s[C]ad, sad [G]song.
[G]Every rose has its [C]thorn.
[Bridge]
[Em] Though it’s been a w[D]hile now, I can s[C]till feel so much p[G]ain.
[Em] Like a knife that [D]cuts you the wound [C]heals, but the scar, that scar remains
[Solo]
[G] [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9] [Em] [D] [C] [G]
[Em] [D] [C] [C]
[G] [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9]
[Verse3]
I [G]know I coulda saved our love that night if [Cadd9]I’d known what to say.
[G] Instead of making love we [Cadd9]both made our separate ways.
And [G]now I hear you’ve found [Cadd9]somebody new,
and [G]that I never meant that [Cadd9]much to you.
To [D]hear that tears me up inside, and to
[C]see you cuts me like a knife, I guess
[Chorus]
[G]Every rose has its [Cadd9]thorn.
Just like [G]every night has its [Cadd9]dawn.
Just like eve[G]ry cow[D]boy sings a sa[C]d, sad s[G]ong.
[G]Every rose has its [C]thorn.[G]
