  			Intro: G D - Dsus2 Am         
G              D          Am 
I could have treated you better 
G                       D         Am 
But you couldn't have treated me worse 
G        D      Am 
But it's he who laughs last 
G  D             Am 
Is he who cries first

G            D             Am 
Sometimes I feel I know strangers 
G           D       Am 
Better than I know my friends 
G       D     Am 
Why must a beginning 
G       D          Am 
Be the means to an end 
              
      G             Cadd9 
The stones from my enemies 
G                 Cadd9

But I cannot survive

G         D                  Am 
When the last word has been spoken 
                  G              D            Am 
And we've beared witness to the final setting sun

G                 D          Am 
All that shall remain is a token 
G              D        Am 
Of what we've said and done 
G              D             Am 
When all we've had has been forsaken 
G                   D           Am 
Distant church bells no longer ring 
G          D                Am 
That's the sound of a heart taken 
G                 D        Am 
And the story of tears from a king 
 
      G             Cadd9 
The stones from my enemies 
G                 Cadd9 
These wounds will mend 
   Em           D 
But I cannot survive              
    Cadd9           G             
the roses from my friends 
   Em           D      Cadd9 - Bm5* - Asus4 
oh i cannot survive the roses 
 
(repete o verso) 
This may be the last time I see you 
Forgive me for holding you close 
This may be the last time that I see you 
So of this moment I will make the most 
This may be the last time I see you 
But if you keep me in your heart 
Together we shall be eternal 
If you believe 
We shall never part 
      G             Cadd9 
The stones from my enemies 
G                 Cadd9 
These wounds will mend 
   Em           D 
But I cannot survive              
    Cadd9          G             
the roses from my friends 
   Em           D       
oh i cannot survive 
Cadd9 Bm5* Asus4 (x3) 
the roses... 
          Cadd9     Bm5* Bb5* Cadd9   G  
i cannot survive the roses from my friends.
