G
We both lie silently still

CADD9
In the dead of the night

G
Although we both lie close together

CADD9
We feel miles apart inside

G CADD9
Was it something I said or something I did

G CADD9
Did the words not come out right

D
Though I tried not to hurt you

C
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 G
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

C
Every rose has its thorn


Yeah it does


SOLO*((RIFF-A))*


G CADD9 G CADD9


G
I listen to our favorite song

CADD9
playing on the radio

G CADD9
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and


easy go

G CADD9
But I wonder does he know

G CADD9
Has he ever felt like this

D
And I know that you'd be here somehow

C
If I could have let you know somehow


I guess



CHORUS


Em D
Though it's been a while now

D G G F# E <---Sixth Sting Single Notes))
I can still feel so much pain

Em D
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals

C G CADD9 G CADD9
but the scar, that scar remains


SOLO*((RIFF-B))*


G
I know I could have saved a love that night

Cadd9
If I'd known what to say

G
Instead of makin' love

CADD9
We both made our separate ways

G CADD9
But now I hear you found somebody new

G CADD9
and that I never meant that much to you

D
To hear that tears me up inside

C
And to see you cuts me like a knife


I guess


CHORUS
