We were both so young and impatient at the time
C A7
We thought we were in love so we closed our minds
D7 G
When they told us
C D7 G
Love is like a rose it doesn't just appear
C A7
Give it time to grow or it ends with tears
D7 G C D7 G
There's gotta be a se-ed before the rose
C Am B7 EM
Tender loving care makes it sweeter as it grows
C D7 G C D7 G
There's gotta be l-ove before the tie is bound
C Am B7 C
Or the rose will end with petals on the ground
G C D7 G
But we paid no mind to the things that we had been told
C A7
And we pledged our love with a band of gold
D7
On our fingers
G C D7 G
Now when I look back all that I can see
C A7
Is heartache and regret and it's clear to me
D7 G C D7 G
There's gotta be a se-ed before the rose
C Am B7 EM
Tender loving care makes it sweeter as it grows
C D7 G C D7 G
There's gotta be l-ove before the tie is bound
C Am B7 C
Or the rose will end with petals on the ground
D7 G C D7 G
There's gotta be a se-ed before the rose
C Am B7 EM
Tender loving care makes it sweeter as it grows
C D7 G C D7 G
There's gotta be l-ove before the tie is bound
C Am B7 C
Or the rose will end with petals on the ground

There's gotta be a se-ed before the rose
