[Intro 1]
Doo doo doo [Em]doo doo [Bm]doo m[Am]mm
[Bm]Doo dooby dooby [Em]doo dooby doo doo
doo [Bm]doo doo [Am]doo
[Bm]Doo doo doo [Em]doo doo doo
[Bm]mmm[Am][Bm]

[Verse 1]
There was a [Em]rose I knew,
I met her once or twice before
She was a [Bm]pretty sweet thing,
not the least bit insecure
[Bb]Then [Am]you came with your slick game
and played with her youth
Una[Bm]shamed of the way you lied,

[Pre-chorus 1]
played with the truth, hey, hey
[G]Mmm, she never knew wha[F]t hit her
[D#]Steal her honey,[G] then forget her
Now the rose (is gone)
[F]And she wears a flower
[D#]She tryin' to forget about[G] you

[Chorus 1]
'Cause a [Em]rose [Bm]is still a r[Am]ose[Bm]
[Em]Baby, girl, [Bm]you're still a [Am]flower[Bm]
He [Em]can't lead you and then take [Bm]you
[Am]Make you and then break you[Bm]
[Em]Darlin', [Bm]you hold the [Am]power[Bm]

[Verse 2]
Now be[Em]lieve me when I tell you
that I've been hurt myself
When he [Bm]tells you that he loves you
and sees nobody else
[Bb]And now [Am]you're so tough
tryin' to wear tight clothes and things
[Bm]Tossin' and flossin',
tryin' to fill the void heartbreak brings

[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh, [G]oh, yeah
When she [F]faces the mirror, yeah
[D#]She's cryi[G]n', and you can't hear her
Now the rose is gone
[F]She wears a flower[D#]
tryin' to forget [G]about you, girl

[Chorus 2]
'Cause a [Em]rose [Bm]is still a r[Am]ose[Bm]
[Em]Baby, girl, [Bm]you're still a [Am]flower[Bm]
He [Em]can't lead you and then take [Bm]you
[Am]Make you and then break you[Bm]
[Em]Baby, girl, [Bm]you hold the p[Am]ower[Bm]
See a [Em]rose [Bm]is still a ro[Am]se[Bm]
[Em]Baby, girl, [Bm]you're still a [Am]flower[Bm]
He [Em]can't lead you and then take [Bm]you
[Am]Make you and then break you[Bm]
[Em]Darlin', [Bm]you hold the [Am]power[Bm]

[Bridge 1]
[C]Let your life [Bm]be in the suns[Am]hine
Not the darkness of [Bm]your sorrow
[C]You may feel [Bm]you lost today
[Am]When you know it'll come tomor[Bm]row
[C]Tough to be, but[Bm] life ain't over ove[Am]r
Just because your man is [Bm]gone
[C]Girl, love your[Bm]self and love to love
[Am]'Cause without him your life goes on
[Em]Without him your life [Bm]goes on
[Am]Without him your life goes on

[Chorus 3]
'Cause a [Em]rose [Bm]is still a r[Am]ose[Bm]
[Em]Baby, girl, [Bm]you're still a [Am]flower[Bm]
He [Em]can't lead you and then take [Bm]you
[Am]Make you and then break you[Bm]
[Em]Baby, girl, [Bm]you hold the p[Am]ower[Bm]
See a [Em]rose [Bm]is still a ro[Am]se[Bm]
[Em]Baby, girl, [Bm]you're still a [Am]flower[Bm]
