Barbed Wire and Roses Lyrics

A Riff 1
Well I've got scars from what you've done
A Riff 2
I'll show em to you baby one by one
I took my chances I wanted more
A E A Riff 1
I found the rust and I found thorns, you're like...
A Riff 1
Barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
Cut me so deep you don't even know
D Riff 1
Every time I take a step closer
I wind up tangled, it's all over
Ain't worth the pain of trying to hold you
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
You were shiny as gold and sweeter than honey
And it looked to me like you were right on the money
I scratched the surface, I found the truth
You're made for hurtin' that's what you do, you're like...
(Repeat Chorus)
(Instrumental Break)
(Repeat Verse 1)
(Repeat Chorus)
Ain't worth the pain of trying to hold you
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
No you ain't worth the pain of trying to hold you
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
Riff 1
-optional, but adds a bit of "twang" to the song
-you can replace Riff 1 with an Am chord if that is easier for you
Riff 2
-also optional
-you can replace Riff 2 with two strokes of an Am chord if that is easier
for you
