A Super Fun Medley I Have Been Performing For Awhile. Play With The Transitions As There Is Some Walking Required Between Some Of The Songs. G Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse 1]
G                                  Cadd9
We both lie silently still, in the dead of the night.

             G                                Cadd9
Although we both lie close together, we feel miles apart inside.

          G                   Cadd9
Was it something I said, or something I did,

         G                Cadd9
did my words not come out right?

          D                              C
Though I tried not to hurt you, though I tried, but I guess that's why they say
[Chorus]
G                   Cadd9
Every rose has its thorn.

           G                  Cadd9
Just like every night has its dawn.

           G       D             C       G
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song.

 G                   C
Every rose has its thorn.

G         D              C     D
  I don't know where I'm going,

G       D                    C    D
  but I sure know where I've been.

G                D           C                   G/B
  Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.

Am                        D
   And I've made up my mind,

Am                         D
   I ain't wasting no more time,

           Em
here I go again.

Am            G    Em    Am   C  D
   Here I go again.
[Verse 2]
G               D                C       D
  Though I keep searching for an answer,

G                  D                     C   D
  I never seem to find what I'm looking for.

G            D                 C                    G/B
  Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on,

Am                          D
  'cause I know what it means,

   Am                               D       C  D
to walk along, the lonely street of dreams.
[Chorus]
    G          C           D   C   D
And here I go again on my own,

      G              C               D   C   D
going down the only road I've ever known.

        G             C            D    C G/B
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

Am7                     D
  And I've made up my mind,

Am7                        D    C  D
  I ain't wasting no more time.
