F#     Bsus2   X2

F#                                   Bsus2
We both lie silently still, In the dead of the night
F#                                       Bsus2
Although we both lie close together, We feel miles apart inside

       F#                                            Bsus2
Was it something I said or something I did, Did my words not come out right
          C#                             Bsus2
Though I tried not to hurt you, Though I tried,  But I guess that's why they say

[Chorus:]
F#                  Bsus2
Every rose has its thorn
            F#                 Bsus2
Just like every night has its dawn
           F#     C#              Bsus2       F#  
Just like every cowboy sings his same sad old song
F#                  Bsus2
Every rose has its thorn

Yeah it does

F#    Bsus2  X2


I listen to our favorite song playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and easy go

But I wonder does he know, Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now, If I could have let you know somehow

I guess

[Chorus]

D#m                  C#              Bsus2             F#
Though it's been a while now, I can still feel so much pain
D#m                 C#                     Bsus2 
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals, But the scar, that scar will remain

[Solo]
F#   Bsus2  X2
D#m   C#   Bsus2   F#
D#m   C#   Bsus2  

I know I could have saved a love that night, If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love,We both made our separate ways


And now I hear you found somebody new, And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside, And to see you cuts me like a knife

I guess

[Chorus]
