The Rose
Bette Midler
Verse 1
Some say C love, it is a G river,
That F drowns the G tender C reed
Some say C love, it is a G razor,
That F leaves your G soul to C bleed
Some say Em love it is a Am hunger,
An F endless aching G need.
I say C love it is a G flower and
F You its G only C seed
Verse 2
It's the C heart afraid of G breaking
That F never G learns to C dance
It's the C dream afraid of G waking
That F never G takes a C chance
It's the Em one, who won't be Am taken
Who F cannot seem to G give
And the C soul afraid of G dying
That F never G learns to C live
Verse 3
When the C night has been too G lonely
And the F road has G been too C long
And you C feel that love is G only
For the F lucky G and the C strong
Just re-Em-member in the Am winter
Far be-F-neath the G bitter Gsus4 snow
Lies the C seed that with the G sun's love,
In the F spring G becomes the C rose
