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
