Verse 1
A Riff 1
Well I’ve got scars from what you’ve done
A Riff 2
I’ll show em to you baby one by one
I took my chances I wanted more
A E A Riff 1
I found the rust and I found thorns, you’re like…

Chorus
A Riff 1
Barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
Cut me so deep you don’t even know
D Riff 1
Every time I take a step closer
I wind up tangled, it’s all over
Ain’t worth the pain of trying to hold you
You’re like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

Verse 2

You were shiny as gold and sweeter than honey
And it looked to me like you were right on the money
I scratched the surface, I found the truth
You’re made for hurtin’ that’s what you do, you’re like…

(Repeat Chorus)

(Instrumental Break)

(Repeat Verse 1)

(Repeat Chorus)

Ain’t worth the pain of trying to hold you
You’re like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

No you ain’t worth the pain of trying to hold you
You’re like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

Intro: Em C G D C D

I had to escape, the city was getting too cruel
Maybe I should have called you first, but I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming as I drove the long straight road ahead
The taste of your kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

Chorus:
I drove all ni--ght to get to you
Is that all right
I drove all ni--ght crept in your room
To wake you from your sleep, to make love to you
I drove all night

What in the world keeps us from tearin’ apart
No matter where I go I hear your voice inside my heart
It’s calling me home, pulling me through the dark
Nothing can move me the way that you do
It reaches across any distance between me and yo-—u

Chorus 2:
I drove all ni--ght to get to you
Is that all right
I drove all ni--ght crept in your room
To wake you from your sleep, to make love to you
Is that all right

I drove all ni——–ght (repeat 4 times)
