[INTRO]
G/B  C  Em  G/B  C  Em  D 

[VERSE 1]
G/B                      C                  Em     D
    Ever wonder what was on the mind of the Maker
G/B                           C                     Em    D
    When He turned all of our sorrow into fields of grace
G/B                   C                   Em       D
    Right here in the middle of earth and Heaven
G/B                    C               D
    Caught between the romance and the pain
Can't you see that

[CHORUS]
G/B                           C          Em          D
   He must've known about the heartbreak    long before us
G/B                           C        Em          D
   He must've known about the mistakes,   still He chose us
            G/B
Planted the tree where He would die
    C                    Em             D
Put thorns down the vine,   and then He wore them
                G/B
And love is the blood red stain, 
    C                      D
the beauty that the pain exposes
                          (G/B)
Maybe that's why God made roses

[TURN]
G/B  C  Em D  G/B  C  Em / D 

[VERSE 2]
G/B              C                     Em      D
   God is in the whisper if you listen closely
G/B                  C                        Em      D
   Winter means that spring is just a breath away
G/B                C                     Em      D
   So don't go any faster than this very moment
G/B           C                    D
  Sing a hallelujah in the pouring rain
Can't you see that

[CHORUS]

[TAG]
G/B C  Em       D                   G/B   C   Em   D
Maybe that's why God made roses

[BRIDGE] x2
    G/B              C              Em       
And just like petals falling to the ground
   D              G/B            C                  Em
We fall in to the One who's resurrection's here and now
    D 
All things made new

[CHORUS]

[END]
G/B C  Em       D                   G/B   C   Em   D
            Maybe that's why God made roses
