verse 1
G D Am (fill)
I could have treated you better
G D Am (fill) etc...
But you couldn't have treated me worse
[G]But it's he who [D]laughs la[Am]st
[G]It is he who cri[D]es first [Am] cont..
Sometimes I feel I know strangers
better than I know my friends
Why must a beginning
be the means to an end?
chorus
The st[G]ones from my e[C]nemies
[G]these wounds will me[C]nd
But [Em]I cannot sur[D]vive
the ro[C]ses fr[Em]om [Am]my f[G]riends
Verse 2
G D Am cont...
When the last word has been spoken
and we've bleared witness to the final setting sun
All that shall remain is a token
of what we've said and done
When all we've had has been forsaken
And distant church bells no longer ring
That's the sound of a heart taken
and the story of tears from a king
chorus
The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
the roses from my friends
Verse 3
This may be the last time I see you
Forgive me for holding you close
This may be the last time 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
chorus
The stones from my enemies
These wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
the roses from my friends
