_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Listen, dear, I realize that you've been [Abm] hurt, beaten, _ [Ebm] because I've been there.
[Abm] _ But [Dbm] regardless to who, what, why, when, and [Ebm] where, _ we're all [Abm] precious in His sight.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Abm] And a rose [Dbm] _ is [Ebm] still and always will be _ a rose.
_ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ [Ebm] _ [Abm] There was a rose I knew I met once or twice _ before.
[Ebm] She was a pretty sweet thing, not the least bit [B] _ insecure.
_ [Ebm]
[Dm] Then [Dbm] you came with your sneaky game and played with her youth.
_ _ [Ebm] Unashamed of the way you lied and played with her trough.
_ I, [B] I, _ _ you [A] never knew what hit her. _
[G] I, _ [Em] I, [G] steal [B] her heart and then forget her.
_ _ Now the rose is gone, _ [A] and she wears her [G] thorn. _
[Em] _ [G] Crying [B] yet about you. _ _
[Abm] Cause a [B] rose [Ebm] [E] is still a [Abm] rose.
[Ebm] _ _ [Abm] Baby [B] girl, [Ebm] you're [Dbm] still a flower.
[Abm] _ [Gb] _ [Abm] He can't leave [B] you and [Ebm] take you.
[Abm] _ Thank you [Ebm] and break you.
_ [Abm] Darling, [B] you [Dbm] hold the power.
_ [Ebm] _ [Abm] Now believe me when I tell you that I've been hurt myself.
Man, I heard [Ebm] many times you got it in there, but you ain't shootin' nobody. _ _ _
[Dm] [Dbm] Now you're so tough, tryin' to wear tight clothes and tight ice.
_ [Ebm] Tossin' and tossin', tryin' to feel a boy heartbreak cry.
_ _ _ [B] _
When _ [Abm] [A] she gets to marry _ you, [G] _ she's crying.
Now [B] _ _
you can hear her.
Now the rose is gone, [A] _ and she wears [G] her thorn. _
_ Crying [B] yet about you. _ _
[Abm] Cause a rose [Ebm] is [Abm] still a rose.
[Ebm] _ [Abm] Baby girl, [Ebm] you're [E] still a _ [Ebm] flower.
[Abm] He can't leave [Ebm] you and take you.
[Dbm] [Abm] Thank you [Ebm] and break you.
_ [Abm] Baby [B] girl, [Gb] you [Dbm] hold the power.
[Abm] _ [Ebm] _ _ [Abm] _ [B] Cause a rose [Ebm] is still [Dbm] a [Abm] _ [Ebm] rose.
_ [Abm] Baby girl, [Ebm] you're [Dbm] still a _ _ [B] flower.
[Abm] He can't leave [B] you and [Ebm] take [Dbm] you.
Thank [Ebm] you and break you.
[Abm] _ [Ebm] Darling, you [Dbm] hold the power.
You hold [Abm] the [Ebm] power.
_ [E] Let your [Ebm] light be in [Dbm] the sunshine.
Darkness, [B] _ [Gb] _
[Abm] sorrow, [Ebm] beauty, pain, and loss [Dbm] today.
But new light will [Ebm] come [Abm] tomorrow.
Now [Ebm] believe me that life is [Dbm] a _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Abm] lie.
[Ebm] You're stuck in that tonight.
[Abm] Without him, [E] your life goes on.
[Gb] Without _ his [E] love, without him, your [Ebm] life goes [Abm] on.
Cause a rose [B] [Ebm] is [Abm] still a _ [Ebm] rose.
_ [Abm] Baby [B] girl, [Ebm] you're [Dbm] still a flower.
[Abm] _ _ _
He can't leave [Bb] you and [Ebm] take you.
[Dbm] Thank [Ebm] you and break you.
