Am
You plant a rose and if the rose comes up

C
You got to learn to let go
Dm
if you can't learn to love him
Chorus
Em F C
But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
Em Am
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
G F
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
C Em Am
Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street
G F
Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe
Am
'Cause if I don't believe in love
C F Em Dm
Then I don't believe in you And I do

You got to have someone you wanna sing it to

Close my eyes, see the glorious sunset

Have their own judgment that they'll have live up to
