Bette Midler - The Rose Chords

[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
