Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Poison

This version saves the need to detune. Play with a capo
on the 2nd fret. The As chord is an Asus.

Capo 2
Intro:
 / / /   As / / /    / / /   As / / /


                               As
We both lie silent still in the dead of the night
                                            As
Although we both lie close together, we feel miles apart inside
                           As
Was it somethin’ I said, or somethin’ I did
                         As
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

                   As
Every rose has it’s thorn 
                              As
Just like every night has it’s dawn
                                     
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
                    As
Every rose has it’s thorn...yeah it does

 / / /   As / / /    / / /   As / / /

                                          As
I listen to a favorite song playin’ on the radio
                                              As
Yeah the DJ said love’s a game of easy come and easy go
                 As
But I wonder does he know
                     As
Has it ever felt like this
                               
And I know that you’d be here right now if I

Coulda let you know somehow, I guess

                   As
Every rose has it’s thorn 
                              As
Just like every night has it’s dawn
                                     
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
                    As
Every rose has it’s thorn

                
Though it’s been a while now,
                        
I can still feel so much pain
               
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
        
But the scar, that scar remains


SOLO
 / / /    As / / /    / / /    As / / /

                                               As
I know I could’ve saved a love that night if I’d known what to say
                             As
Instead of makin’ love we both made our separate ways
                               As
And now I hear you’ve found somebody new
                           As
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

                   As
Every rose has it’s thorn 
                              As
Just like every night has it’s dawn
                                     
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
                    As      
Every rose has it’s thorn
