intro: G D-Dsus2 Am        (when you see D play D-Dsus2)



G              D          Am

I could have treated you better

G                       D         Am

But you couldn't have treated me worse

G        D      Am

But it's he who laughs last

G  D             Am

Is he who cries first



G            D             Am

Sometimes I feel I know strangers

G           D       Am

Better than I know my friends

G       D     Am

Why must a beginning

G       D          Am

Be the means to an end

      G             Cadd9

The stones from my enemies

But I cannot survive

G         D                  Am

When the last word has been spoken

                  G              D            Am

And we've beared witness to the final setting sun

G                 D          Am

All that shall remain is a token

G              D        Am

Of what we've said and done



G              D             Am

When all we've had has been forsaken

G                   D           Am

Distant church bells no longer ring

G          D                Am

That's the sound of a heart taken

G                 D        Am

And the story of tears from a king





      G             Cadd9

The stones from my enemies

G                 Cadd9

These wounds will mend

   Em           D

But I cannot survive             

    Cadd9   (***)   G            

the roses from my friends

   Em           D      Cadd9-Bm5*-Asus4

oh i cannot survive the roses





(repeat verse)

This may be the last time I see you

Forgive me for holding you close

This may be the last time that I see you

So of this moment I will make the most

This may be the last time I see you

But if you keep me in your heart

Together we shall be eternal

If you believe

We shall never part



      G             Cadd9

The stones from my enemies

G                 Cadd9

These wounds will mend

   Em           D

But I cannot survive             

    Cadd9   (***)   G            

the roses from my friends

   Em           D      

oh i cannot survive



Cadd9 Bm5* Asus4 (x3)
