 Intro: G, Cadd9 

 Verse 1: 

     G                              Cadd9 
 We both lie silently still, in the dead of the night. 
              G                                Cadd9 
 Although we both lie close together, we feel miles apart inside. 
          G                   Cadd9 
 Was it something I said, or something I did, 
         G                Cadd9 
did my words not come out right? 
          D                              C 
Though I tried not to hurt you, though I tried, but I guess that's why they say 

Chorus 
G                   Cadd9 
Every rose has its thorn. 
           G                  Cadd9 
Just like every night has its dawn. 
           G      D             C 
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song. 
 G                   C 
Every rose has its thorn. 

{Bridge and solo - I just play G-Cadd9-G-Cadd9 

Verse 2: 
G                                            Cadd9 
Listen to our favorite song, playing on the radio. 
         G                                    Cadd9 
Well the DJ says loves a game of easy come and  easy go. 
       G              Cadd9         G              Cadd9 
But I wonder, does he know, has he ever felt like this. 
        D                                     C 
Well I know that you'd be here right now if I 

coulda let you know somehow, I guess 

{Chorus} 

  Em                 D               C                 G 
Though it's been awhile now, I can still feel so much pain. 
 Em                 D                     C                              G 
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains 

G-Cadd9 

Verse 3: 
   G                                            Cadd9 
I know I coulda saved our love that night if I'd     known what to say. 
G                                 Cadd9 
  Instead of making love we both  made our separate ways. 
             G                   Cadd9          G                       Cadd9 
 And now I hear you've found somebody new, and that I never meant that much to you. 
     D                                  C 
 To hear that tears me up inside, and to see you cuts me like a knife, I guess 

 {Chorus}
