Pretty much been alone now
for almost five years
well I could always find a way
to hide these bitter tears
still I am waiting
and wishing somehow
I wish I knew then
what I know now
it's no bed of roses
it ain't no crown of thorns
better than lonely
I've been there before
gotta bad reputation
for playing with love
gonna play again now
and beat the odds above
and still I am waiting
and wishing somehow
I wish I knew then
what I know now
it's no bed of roses
it ain't no crown of thorns
better than lonely
I've been there before
Are you tired of being alone?
Or have you fallen out of love?
Do you care enough about yourself?
I have worn you're crown of thorns
It's no bed of roses
It ain't no crown of thorns
Better than lonely
I've been there before
It's no bed of roses
It ain't no crown of thorns
Better than lonely
I've been there before

Pretty much been alone now
for almost five years
well I could always find a way
to hide these bitter tears
still I am waiting
and wishing somehow
I wish I knew then
what I know now
it's no bed of roses
it ain't no crown of thorns
better than lonely
I've been there before
gotta bad reputation
for playing with love
gonna play again now
and beat the odds above
and still I am waiting
and wishing somehow
I wish I knew then
what I know now
it's no bed of roses
it ain't no crown of thorns
better than lonely
I've been there before
Are you tired of being alone?
Or have you fallen out of love?
Do you care enough about yourself?
I have worn you're crown of thorns
It's no bed of roses
It ain't no crown of thorns
Better than lonely
I've been there before
It's no bed of roses
It ain't no crown of thorns
Better than lonely
I've been there before

This is the way I play it. You dont have to play with the bar chords, it will sound
just fine if you play with power chords, but I like the bar chords better.
