On the inside (UK 3, AUS 4, NZ 5, 1989) (video)

G - C - G - C - G7

Am - D7 G - Em

1. He used to give me roses, I wish he could again,

Am - D7 G - C - G

but that was on the outside and things were different then.

Am - D7 G - Em

We built our world together with a love so clear and strong,

Am - D7 G

but that was on the outside, where did I go wrong ?

C - D7 Bm - E7

On the inside the sun still shines and the rain falls do…...wn,

Am - D7

but the sun and rain are prisoners, too,

G

when morning comes around.

+ C - G

Am - D7

2. Last night I dreamed we were together,

G - Em

sharing all the love we'd known,

Am - D7 G

till I had to face the nightmare of waking up alone.

+ CHORUS

C - D7 Bm - E7

+ On the inside the roses grow, they don't mind the stony ground,

Am - D7 G - C - G

but the roses here are prisoners, too, when morning comes around.

Am - D7 G - Em

He used to give me roses, I wish he could again,

Am - D7 G - C - G

but that was on the outside and things were different then.
