[Verse 1]
[Am]Swim[F]ming[Am][F][Am]
again[F]st [Bb]the cur[Am]rent,
[F]It's been [G]this [Am]way f[Dm]rom day [Bb]one.[Am]
Al[F]ways [Am]an up[F] hill ba[Bb]ttle,
We never [Dm]got a s[Bb]ingle [Am]handout from
[Dm]any [Am]one.[Bb][Am][Bb][Am]
[Dm]From anyon[Bb]e.[Am][Bb][F]
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Bb]So t[Am]ell m[Dm]e,[Bb]
[Am]if we were "Damaged goods",
Then what does that make [G]you?[Bb]
[Am]As far as I'm concerned,
You're nothing more than just
[Bb]a worthless suit.
[Am]We are the rose

[Verse 3]
[Am]
We are the [C]rose, we are the [G]rose
That [Am]grew from the [G]crack
in the [F]concrete,
I never doubted for a [Bb]second even
when you left [Dm]us on our own.
[Am]Don't you wish you[G]
[C]would hav[G]e known,
How does it [Am]feel now that
[G]you're in the [F]back seat?
I [Bb]guess you should have had
a little [Dm]more faith in [Am]me.
Now I [F]won't

[Verse 4]
take [Dm]all the credit,
[Am]But you sure[G]
[Dm]don't deserve an [Bb]ounce.
[Am]So go and talk t[F]he talk
while we [Bb]walk the walk.
There's no [Dm]way t[Bb]hat [Am]you c[Dm]an stop
[Bb]us n[Dm]ow![F][Am][G][Am]
[F]

[Verse 5]
We [G]are [Am]the rose, w[C]e are the [G]rose
That [Am]grew from the [G]crack
in the [F]concrete,
I never doubted for a [Bb]second even
when you left [Dm]us on our [Am]own.
Don't you [C]wish [G]you [C]would have [G]known,
How does it [Am]feel now that
[G]you're in the [F]back seat?
I [Bb]guess you should have had a little [Dm]more
[Am]faith in me.

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][G][Bb][Am]

[Verse 6]
You can lie, you can cheat [Am]your way
through life,
You can take what you don't
deserve until you die.
You can lie,
you can cheat your way through life,
You can take what you don't
deserve until you die.
You can lie,
you can cheat your way through life,
You can take what you don't
[Bb]deserve [Am]until you die.

[Verse 7]
But you can never take [Am]away
our pride,
Because when they said we couldn't

[Verse 8]
We did!
[Am][G]
[Am]One day you'll be forgotten,
When they said [G]we couldn't
[Am]We did!

[Verse 9]
[G]
[Am]They'll remember our
name forever,
Because when they said
we couldn't, we did.

[Verse 10]
I forgive [C]you.[F]
[C]It's not [Dm]your [G]fault you
[C]couldn't [G]see what I saw,
You never were to care about
the underdo[Am]g.[G]

[Verse 11]
[Am]We are the rose, we ar[C]e the rose[G]
That [Am]grew from the crack
[G]in the [F]concrete,
I never doubted for a [Bb]second even
when you left [Dm]us on our [Am]own.
Don't you wish [C]you would [G]have known,
How does it feel [Am]now that
[G]you're in the [F]back seat?
I [Bb]guess you should have had
a little [Dm]more faith [Am]in me.
We are the rose, [C]we

[Verse 12]
are [G]the rose
That [Am]grew from the [G]crack
in the [F]concrete,
I never doubted for a [Bb]second even
when you left [Dm]us on our [Am]own.

[Verse 13]
[Am]You left us on our o[G]wn.[Am]
I guess you should have had
a little more faith in me.
