Capo 2nd fret
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
A
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
A
Cut me so deep you don't even know
D Riff 1
Every time I take a step closer
A
I wind up tangled, it's all over
E
Ain't worth the pain of trying to hold you
A
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]

E
Ain't worth the pain of trying to hold you
A
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
E
No you ain't worth the pain of trying to hold you
A
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
