VERSE 1
********
              G          Am     G     C  G
Its taste was sweet like summer wine
               Bm              C     D
The heart that beats in double time
                 G      Am         G     C  G
He waltzed right in, he bowled you over
             Bm               C                 D      C
You're still reeling from the feeling when he's gone
                   G
The door is closed, the lock is turned
    C           G        Am                D
And all the memories and letters have been burned


E|E|---------------||---------
CHORUS
*******
   G       Am     G      C        D   G
So when you pick the handsome flower
         D       C              D     G
Don't forget the thorn upon the rose
           Am           D             C
Its cut is deep and its scar lasts forever
           G        C         G     Am  Bm  C
It follows love wherever love goes


E|E|---------------||---------
VERSE 2
********
            G          Am      G     C  G
Just how we fall, it's hard to know
             Bm              C     D
When what we feel, we seldom show
               G        Am       G     C
So we show the parts we feel are best
   G                 Bm              C            D      C
We squirm around the edges trying to cover up the rest
                           G
And you think you know him, and he thinks the same
     C             G                Am             D
When underneath it all, it's just a crazy guessing game


E|E|---------------||---------
CHORUS
*******
   G       Am     G      C        D   G
So when you pick the handsome flower
         D       C              D     G
Don't forget the thorn upon the rose
           Am           D             C
Its cut is deep and its scar lasts forever
           G        C         G     Am  Bm  C  D  G  C
It follows love wherever love goes

VERSE 3
********
       G          Am       G     C  G
Win or lose, it's just the same
         Bm            C     D
Tears of joy, tears of pain
                G          Am      G    C
They're hand in hand, they come as one
       G             Bm               C              D     C
You'll never see the moon without the promise of the sun
                    G
For all the bruises, for all the blows
    C               G             Am            D
I'd rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose

CHORUS
*******
   G       Am     G      C        D   G
So when you pick the handsome flower
         D       C              D     G
Don't forget the thorn upon the rose
           Am           D             C
Its cut is deep and its scar lasts forever
           G        C         G     Am  Bm  C
It follows love wherever love goes
           G        C         G     Am  Bm  C
It follows love wherever love goes
