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

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.

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

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.
