   F           F/A     A#               F
Today I met a woman I don’t think you know
F                F/A           A#      F
She showed me a smile nobody’s ever shown
     Dm            F              A#       Gm
She took off her clothes and her jacket I fold
     Dm            F          A#      F
She told me ‘bout somewhere behind a rose

It's looking out a bed, she said, seeing somebody's close
It's knowing that tomorrow you're not gonna wake up alone
It's the feeling of those legs upon my bones
That's the beauty behind the rose

It's walking down the street to your old home
It's the feeling of your feet on that familiar stone
It's all those little things she does that let you know
That's the beauty behind the rose

And once you find it, I know you won't wanna go
You stay up so late, you'll fall asleep in your clothes
You can't take back a song, once it's been wrote
But that's the beauty behind the rose
