Intro: G Cadd9 
 
G                                 Cadd9 
We both lie silently still in the dead of the night. Although we 
G                               Cadd9  
both lie close together we feel miles apart inside. Was it 
G                   Cadd9                   G                  Cadd9  
something I said or something I did? Did my words not come out right? Though I 
D                               C 
tried not to hurt you, though I tried. But I guess that's why they say 
 
G                  Cadd9 
ev'ry rose has its thorn, just like 
G                   Cadd9 
ev'ry night has its dawn. Just like 
G     D                C        G   
ev'ry cowboy sings his sad, sad song 
                   C  
ev'ry rose has its thorn 
 
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 
 
G                                           Cadd9 
Listen to our favourite song playing on the radio hear the 
G                              Cadd9 
D.J. say love's a game of easy come and easy go. But I 
G              Cadd9        G              Cadd9 
wonder does he know, has he ever felt like this? And I 
D                                 C 
know that you'd be right now if I could've let you know somehow. I guess 
 
G                  Cadd9 
ev'ry rose has its thorn, just like 
G                   Cadd9 
ev'ry night has its dawn. Just like 
G     D                C        G   
ev'ry cowboy sings his sad, sad song 
                   C  
ev'ry rose has its thorn 
 
Em                   D             C                  G 
Though it's been a while now I can still feel so much pain. 
Em                   D                          C  
Like the knife thats cuts you, the wound heals, but the scar,  
            G      Cadd9  G  Cadd9  
that scar remains 
 
G                                                    Cadd9 
I know I could have saved our love that night if I'd known what to say 
G                              Cadd9 
Instead of making love we both made our separate ways. Now I 
G                     Cadd9        G                       Cadd9 
hear you've found somebody new and that I never meant that much to you. To 
D                                   C                      
hear that tears me up inside and to see you cuts me like a knife. I guess 
 
G                  Cadd9 
ev'ry rose has its thorn, just like 
G                   Cadd9 
ev'ry night has its dawn. Just like 
G     D                C        G   
ev'ry cowboy sings his sad, sad song 
                   C     D  G   
ev'ry rose has its thorn
