The Rose chords
Bette Midler 1980 (Amanda McBroom)
C *
C G
Some say love it is a river
F G C
That drowns the tender reed
G
Some say love it is a razor
F G C
That leaves your soul to bleed
C Em Am
Some say love it is a hunger
F G
An endless aching need
C G
I say love it is a flower
F G C
And you it's only seed
C G
It's the heart afraid of breaking
F G C
That never learns to dance
G
It's the dream afraid of waking
F G C
that never takes the chance
Em Am
It's the one who won't be taken
F G
Who cannot seem to give
C G
And the soul afraid of dying
F G C
that never learns to live
C G
When the night has been too lonely
F G C
And the road has been too long
G
And you think that love is only
F G C
For the lucky and the strong
Em Am
Just remember in the winter
F G
far beneath the bitter snows
C
Lies the seed
G
That with the sun's love
F G
In the spring
C
Becomes the rose
