(Spoken word over strings) Listen, dear I realize that you've been hurt, deep Because I've been there But regardless to who, what, why, when and where We're all precious in his sight And a rose is still, and always will be, a rose
               G#m  D#m7  C#m7
Dee-uh doo doo doo doo doo, mmm

Dee-uh  doo doo doo doo doo doo

D#m7            G#m     D#m7  C#m7
Doo doo doo doo doo doo mmm
[Verse 1]
            G#m
There was a rose I knew, I done met her once or twice before

          D#m7
She was a pretty sweet thing, not the least bit insecure

D#m7 Dm7 C#m7
 Then you   came with your slick game and played with her youth

   D#m7
Unashamed of the way you lied and played with the truth, hey hey

B               A             G
 She never knew what hit her, oh

                B
Steal her honey, then forget her

B
 Now the rose is scorned

A                  G                          B
 She wears a thorn, she tryin' to forget about you
[Chorus]
       G#m     D#m7    C#m7  D#m7
'Cuz a rose is still a rose

G#m        D#m7           C#m7  D#m7
Baby girl, you're still a flower

         G#m                D#m7
He can't leave you and then take you

C#m7               D#m7
 Make you and then break you

G#m                                           D#m7
Darlin', you hold the power (what I am is what I am)
[Verse 2]
G#m
Now believe me when I tell you that I've been hurt myself

                                                            D#m7 Dm7 C#m7
When he tells you that he loves you, it's you, nobody else (no - body else)
And now you're so tough, tryin' to wear tight clothes and things
D#m7
Tossin' and flossin', tryin' to fill the void heartbreak brings

        B
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

              A
When she gets nearer

G      B
 She's cryin', you can't hear her

B
 Now the rose is scorned

A            G                      B
 She wears a thorn, tryin' to forget about you
[Chorus]
       G#m     D#m7    C#m7  D#m7
'Cuz a rose is still a rose

G#m        D#m7           C#m7  D#m7
Baby girl, you're still a flower

         G#m                D#m7
He can't leave you and then take you

C#m7               D#m7
 Make you and then break you

G#m            D#m7     C#m7  D#m7
Baby girl, you hold the power (what I am is what I am)
[Chorus]

See, a rose is still a rose

G#m                D#m7    C#m7  D#m7

[Bridge]
E             D#m7          C#m7
Let your life be in the sunshine

                         D#m7
Not the darkness of your sorrow

E                  D#m7    C#m7
You may see you're lost today

                       D#m7
But new love will come tomorrow

G#m                D#m7        C#m7
Don't believe that life is over

                      D#m7
Just because your man is gone

G#m                  D#m7     C#m7
Girl, love yourself enough to know

                 D#m7
That without him, your life goes on

G#m                    D#m7    C#m7
Without him, your life goes on

G#m
And without him, your life goes on
[Chorus]

'Cuz a rose is still a rose

Baby girl, you hold the power (what I am is what I am)
[Outro]
G#m                D#m7       C#m7  D#m7
'Cuz a rose, yeah. Is still a rose

G#m              D#m7      C#m7  D#m7
 Baby girl, you're still a flower

         G#m                     D#m7  C#m7
He can't leave you and then take you
