[G]THE LESSON
Vikki[C]Car[G]r

[Verse 2]
This is the lesson [Am]taught to [C]me
[G]A long time ago at [C]my mother's knee
[G]She said,
someday someone who loves you
Will make you [C]cry[D]
Though he loves you he'll hurt [C]you
[D]Till you feel [G]you could die
But if he says forgive me
Forgive [C]if [D]you can
For you are his woman
[C]And[D] he is your m[G]an
[F]When you're looking for [C]roses
There are thorns you will [G]meet[Dm][G]
And remember [Dm]my child
Without [G]any thorns the rose [C]can't be [F]sweet
[C]Well it's finally happened
Now it's my [Dm]turn to cry
[G]Oh my darling you've hur[Dm]t me[G]
Till I feel I [C]could die
But you're saying forgive me
And I un[F]der[Dm]stand[G]
For I am your wo[Dm]man[G]
And you [C]are my man
Don't [Dm]tell me [F]about heartache
I've cried my [C]share [Gm]of tears
[C]I've had my share of rain
But after [Gm]the [C]storm
No rain [F]will appear
I just know when you hold me
[Dm]My w[F]hole w[Dm]orld is com[C]plete
And the lesson is clear
Without [Gm]any [C]thorns the rose
can't be [F]sweet
And the lesson [C]is clear
Without any thorns the rose
can't be [F]sweet
