  We both  lie silently still, in the dead  of the night.
  Although we both  lie close together, we feel miles  apart inside.
  Was it something  I said, or something  I did,
 did my words  not come out right?
 Though I tried  not to hurt you, though I tried,  but I guess that's why they say
Every  rose has its thorn.
 Just like every  night has its dawn.
 Just like every  cowboy  sings a sad,  sad song.
 Every  rose has its thorn.
 I just play ---
Listen  to our favorite song, playing on the radio.
 Well the DJ  says loves a game of easy come and  easy go.
 But I wonder,  does he know,  has he ever  felt like this.
 Well I know  that you'd be here right now if I
 coulda let you know somehow, I guess
 Though  it's been awhile  now, I can still  feel so much pain.
 Like  a knife that cuts  you the wound heals,  but the scar, that scar remains
 I know  I coulda saved our love that night if I'd  known what to say.
 Instead of making love we both made  our separate ways.
  And now I hear  you've found somebody  new, and that  I never meant that much  to you.
  To hear  that tears me up inside, and to  see you cuts me like a knife, I guess

[G]  [Cadd9]

 We b[G]oth lie silently still, in the [Cadd9]dead of the night.
 Although we b[G]oth lie close together, we feel m[Cadd9]iles apart inside.
 Was it so[G]mething I said, or s[Cadd9]omething I did,
did my wo[G]rds not come out [Cadd9]right?
Though I t[D]ried not to hurt you, though I [C]tried, but I guess that's why they say

[G]Every rose has its t[Cadd9]horn.
Just like e[G]very night has its [Cadd9]dawn.
Just like e[G]very co[D]wboy sings a s[C]ad, sad song.
E[G]very rose has its th[C]orn.

I just play [G]-[Cadd9]-[G]-[Cadd9]

[G]Listen to our favorite song, playing on the r[Cadd9]adio.
Well the [G]DJ says loves a game of easy come and[Cadd9]  easy go.

Well I k[D]now that you'd be here right now if I [C]

coulda let you know somehow, I guess

Th[Em]ough it's been awhi[D]le now, I can st[C]ill feel so much p[G]ain.
L[Em]ike a knife that cu[D]ts you the wound heals[C], but the scar, that scar remai[G]ns

 To h[D]ear that tears me up inside, and to[C] see you cuts me like a knife, I guess
