standard tuning...enjoy.


[Intro]

[Verse 1]
            
   We both lie

              
 silently stil

          
l, in the dead

 of the night.
             
Although we bo

#             
th lie close t

              
ogether, we fe

    
el miles apart

 inside.
            
Was it somethi

              
ng I said, or 

 
something I di

d,
            
did my words n

             
ot come out ri

ght?
            
Though I tried

              
 not to hurt y

              
ou, though I t


ried, but I gu

ess that's why

 they say

[Chorus]
            
Every rose has

      
 its thorn.
            
Just like ever

              
y night has it

   
s dawn.
            
Just like ever

            
y cowboy sings

             
 a sad, sad so


ng.
            
Every rose has

      
 its thorn.

[Verse 2]
            
I listen to ou

g, playing on 

    
the radio.

But I wonder, 

             
does he know, 

            
has he ever fe

And I know tha

[Chorus]
            
Every rose has

Just like ever

              
y night has it

   
s dawn.
            
Just like ever

            
y cowboy sings

             
 a sad, sad so


ng.
            
Every rose has

[Bridge]
           
    Though it'

             
s been a while

#            
 now, I can st

              
ill feel so mu

        
ch pain.
           
    Like a kni

            
fe that cuts y

[Verse 3]
            
   I know I co

              
ulda saved our

              
 love that nig

          
ht if I'd know

n what to say.
            
  Instead of m

              
aking love we 

    
both made our 

separate ways.
            
And now I hear

              
 you've found 

             
somebody new, 

            
and that I nev

              
er meant that 


much to you.
            
To hear that t

              
ears me up ins

            
ide, and to se

e you cuts me 

like a knife, 

I guess

[Chorus]
            
Every rose has

      
 its thorn.
            
Just like ever

              
y night has it

   
s dawn.
            
Just like ever
