INTRO           G       /  Cadd9    /   G            / Cadd9

VERSE 1

   G                        Cadd9
We both lie silently in the dead of the night.

                G                   Cadd9
Although we lie close together, we feel miles apart inside.

                 G              Cadd9
Was it some -  thing I said or some - thing I did?

                G            Cadd9
Did my words    not come out right,

                       D                           C
Though I tried   not   to  hurt you, though I tired?

But I guess that?s why they say:

CHORUS

G                       Cadd9
Every rose has its thorn,

           G                    Cadd9
Just like eve - ry night has its dawn.

             G           D           Cadd9      G
Just like ev - ery cow - boy sings a sad,     sad song,

G                        Cadd9
Every rose has its thorn.

INTERLUDE               G       /  Cadd9       /  G           /  Cadd9

VERSE 2

        G                        Cadd9
I listen to our favorite song on the radio,

            G                                   Cadd9
Hear the dee ? jay say love?s a game of easy come and    easy go.

           G          Cadd9
But I won ? der, does he    know,

           G            Cadd9
Has he ev ? er flet like this?

           D
And I know      that you?d be here right now

       C
If I    could have let you know somehow. I guess

CHORUS

G                       Cadd9
Every rose has its thorn,

           G                    Cadd9
Just like eve - ry night has its dawn.

             G       D                Cadd9     G
Just like ev - ery cow - boy sings a sad,     sad song,

G                        Cadd9
Every rose has its thorn.

BRIDGE

Em                      D
Though it?s been awhile    now,

          C                 G
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 remains.

VERSE 3

G                                               Cadd9
I know I could have saved our love that night, If I?d    known what to say.

G                           Cadd9
Instead of makin? love, we both   made our separate ways.

         G                   Cadd9
But now I   hear you found some-body 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

G                   Cadd9
Every rose has its thorn,

             G                  Cadd9
Just like eve - ry night has its dawn.

             G       D                Cadd9     G
Just like ev - ery cow - boy sings a sad,     sad song,

G                      Cadd9
Every rose has its thorn.
