G
We both lie silently still
CADD9
In the dead of the night
G
Although we both lie close together
CADD9
We feel miles apart inside
G CADD9
Was it something I said or something I did
G CADD9
Did the words not come out right
D
Though I tried not to hurt you
C
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
CHORUS
G CADD9
Every rose has its thorn
G CADD9
Just like every night has its dawn
G D C G
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
C
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
SOLO*((RIFF-A))*
G CADD9 G CADD9
G
I listen to our favorite song
CADD9
playing on the radio
G CADD9
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and
easy go
G CADD9
But I wonder does he know
G CADD9
Has he ever felt like this
D
And I know that you'd be here somehow
C
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess
CHORUS
Em D
Though it's been a while now
D G G F# E <---Sixth Sting Single Notes))
I can still feel so much pain
Em D
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
C G CADD9 G CADD9
but the scar, that scar remains
SOLO*((RIFF-B))*
G
I know I could have saved a love that night
Cadd9
If I'd known what to say
G
Instead of makin' love
CADD9
We both made our separate ways
G CADD9
But now I hear you found somebody new
G CADD9
and that I never meant that much to you
D
To hear that tears me up inside
C
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess
CHORUS
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official POISON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
