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

      D                  G     G F# E <---Sixth Sting Single Notes))
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, that scar remains


SOLO*((RIFF-B))*


G           
I know I could have saved a love that night

       Cadd9
If I'd known what to say

G
Instead of makin' love

        CADD9
We both made our separate ways

          G                  CADD9  
But now I hear you found somebody 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 

• every rose has its thorn
• every rose has its thorn (3)
