  I could have treated you better 
G#                      Fm         D#      C# 
  but you couldn't have treated me worse 
G#         Fm     D#     C#      
  but it's he who laughs last 
G#   Fm     D#    C# 
  is he who cries first 

couplet: 
======== 
Sometimes I feel I know strangers 
better than I know my friends 
why must a beginning 
be the means to an end 


Refrain:

    E              D# 
The stones from my ennemies

the roses from my friends 

couplet: 
======== 
When the last word has been spoken 
and we've beared witness to the final setting sun 
all that shall remains is a token 
of what we've said and done 

couplet: 
======== 
When all we've had has been forsaken 
distant church bells no longer ring 
that's the sound of a heart taken 
and the story of tears from a king  
  
Refrain: 
======== 
The stones from my ennemies 
these wounds will mend 
but I cannot survive 
the roses from my friends 

Bridge:  pour la rythmique ca fait le couplet puis le refrain  
======= 

Couplet: 
======== 
This may be the last time I see you 
forgive me for holding you close 
this may be the last time I see you 
so of this moment I will make the most 

Couplet: 
======== 
This may be the lasy time I see you 
but if you keep me in your heart 
together we shall be eternal 
if you believe 
we shall never part 

Refrain: 
======== 
The stones from my ennemies 
these wounds will mend 
but I cannot survive 
the roses from my friends
