VERSE 1
********
G Am G C G
Its taste was sweet like summer wine
Bm C D
The heart that beats in double time
G Am G C G
He waltzed right in, he bowled you over
Bm C D C
You're still reeling from the feeling when he's gone
G
The door is closed, the lock is turned
C G Am D
And all the memories and letters have been burned
------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G Am G C D G
So when you pick the handsome flower
D C D G
Don't forget the thorn upon the rose
Am D C
Its cut is deep and its scar lasts forever
G C G Am Bm C
It follows love wherever love goes
------------------------
VERSE 2
********
G Am G C G
Just how we fall, it's hard to know
Bm C D
When what we feel, we seldom show
G Am G C
So we show the parts we feel are best
G Bm C D C
We squirm around the edges trying to cover up the rest
G
And you think you know him, and he thinks the same
C G Am D
When underneath it all, it's just a crazy guessing game
------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G Am G C D G
So when you pick the handsome flower
D C D G
Don't forget the thorn upon the rose
Am D C
Its cut is deep and its scar lasts forever
G C G Am Bm C D G C
It follows love wherever love goes
------------------------
VERSE 3
********
G Am G C G
Win or lose, it's just the same
Bm C D
Tears of joy, tears of pain
G Am G C
They're hand in hand, they come as one
G Bm C D C
You'll never see the moon without the promise of the sun
G
For all the bruises, for all the blows
C G Am D
I'd rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose
------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G Am G C D G
So when you pick the handsome flower
D C D G
Don't forget the thorn upon the rose
Am D C
Its cut is deep and its scar lasts forever
G C G Am Bm C
It follows love wherever love goes
G C G Am Bm C
It follows love wherever love goes
