Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Originally in G tuned down to Gb, I keep it in G
Intro, acoustic only
GCadd9GCadd9
GWe both lie silently still in the Cadd9dead of the night
Although we Gboth lie close together we feel Cadd9miles apart inside
Was it Gsomething I said or Cadd9something I did
Did my Gwords not come out Cadd9right
Though I Dtried not to hurt you though I Cadd9tried
I guess that’s why they say
Keys and cymbals gently enter...
GEvery rose has its Cadd9thorn
Just like Gevery night has its Cadd9dawn
Just like Gevery Dcowboy sings his Cadd9sad, sad Gsong
Band enters on “thorn”
GEvery rose has its Cadd9thorn
Yeah it does
GCadd9GCadd9
I Glisten to our favorite song playing on the Cadd9radio
Hear the GDJ say love’s a game of easy come and Cadd9easy go
Ooooh’s begin
But I Gwonder does Cadd9he know
Has he Gever felt like Cadd9this
And I Dknow that you’d be here right now
If I Cadd9could have let you know somehow I guess
GEvery rose has its Cadd9thorn
Just like Gevery night has its Cadd9dawn
Just like Gevery Dcowboy sings his Cadd9sad, sad Gsong
GEvery rose has its Cadd9thorn

GI know I could have saved a love that night If I’d Cadd9known what to say
GInstead of makin’ love we both Cadd9made our separate ways
And now I Ghear you found someboCadd9dy new
And Gthat I never meant that muCadd9ch to you
To heDar that tears me up inside
And to Cadd9see you cuts me like a knife
I guess
GEvery rose has its Cadd9thorn
Just like Gevery night has its Cadd9dawn
Just like Gevery Dcowboy sings his Cadd9sad, sad Gsong
Hanging end on “thorn”
GEvery rose has its Cadd9thorn
