Like a rose trampled on the ground
             Bm  A/C#                D   E
You took the fall     and thought of me   above all

Like a rose trampled on the ground
C/B           C   G               C  D        G
You took the fall  and thought of me   above all

When I play this song I use G2/B and a C2 chord. 

Also, D/F# sounds good.

Play Em7 and Am7 for the chorus. 

Dsus before the G. 

I also have the chords (Key of E )if interested.
