G+G                       Cadd9Cadd9
We both lie silently still, in the dead of the night.
       G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
Although we both lie close together, we feel miles apart inside.
     G+G          Cadd9Cadd9
Was it something I said, or something I did,
     G+G        Cadd9Cadd9
did my words not come out right?
     D MajorD               C majorC
Though I tried not to hurt you, though I tried, but I guess that's why they say

Chorus:
G+G          Cadd9Cadd9
Every rose has its thorn.

Listen to our favorite song, playing on the radio.
     G+G                  Cadd9Cadd9
Well the DJ says loves a game of easy come and easy go.
    G+G       Cadd9Cadd9     G+G       Cadd9Cadd9
But I wonder, does he know, has he ever felt like this.
    D MajorD                   C majorC
Well I know that you'd be here right now if I
 C majorC
coulda let you know somehow, I guess

Bridge:
 E minorEm         D MajorD        C majorC         G+G
Though it's been awhile now, I can still feel so much pain.
 E minorEm         D MajorD           C majorC
      G+G
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.
G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
 Instead of making love we both made our separate ways.
   G+G           Cadd9Cadd9       G+G            Cadd9Cadd9
And now I hear you've found somebody new, and that I never meant that much to you.
  D MajorD                  C majorC
To hear that tears me up inside, and to see you cuts me like a knife, I guess
