[Intro] G D-Dsus2 Am (when you see D play D-Dsus2) [Verse]
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

(sometimes he plays Am and the slides the hand to the 3rd fret like this)

[Verse]
      G             Cadd9
The stones from my enemies

G Cadd9
These wounds will mend

   Em           D
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          DAm
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
[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 [Verse]
      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)
the roses...

          Cadd9     Bm5* Bb5* Cadd9   G 
i cannot survive the roses from my friends.
