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
