🎸 The Rose chords by Bette Midler (Ver. 2)

verse 1:
     D      A7
Some say love, it is a river
    G A7     D
That drowns the tender reed
            A7
Some say love, it is a razor
   G  A7      D
That leaves  your soul to bleed
     Dmaj7       G
Some say love, it is a hunger



         A7sus4    A7
An endless aching need
    D      A7
I say love, it is a flower
   G A7     D
And you  its only seed

verse 2:
     D        A7
It's the heart afraid of breaking
   G A7       D
That ne- ver learns to dance
     D       A7
It's the dream afraid of waking
   G  A7      D
That never  takes the chance
     Dmaj7         G
It's the one  who won't be taken
   G       A7sus4    A7
Who can-not seem to give
    D       A7
And the soul afraid of dyin'
   G  A7      D
That never  learns to live


verse 3:
     D         A7
When the night has been too lonely
     G A7       D
And the road  has been too long
     D        A7
And you think that love is only
     G  A7     D
For the lucky  and the strong
    Dmaj7      G
Just remember in the winter
    G        A7sus4    A7
Far beneath the bitter snows
     D         A7
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
    G  A7       D
In the spring becomes the rose
