The Rose by Bette Midler

[Verse 1]

          A#             F
Some say love, it is a river,
      D#            F    A#
That drowns the tender reed
                        F
Some say love, it is a razor,
      D#            F       A#
That leaves your soul to bleed
          Dm           Gm
Some say love it is a hunger,
      D#             F
An endless acheing need
       A#             F
I say love it is a flower and
 D#        F    A#
You its only seed


[Verse 2]

           A#                 F
It's the heart afraid of breaking
      D#       F        A#
That never learns to dance
           A#                F
It's the dream afraid of waking
     D#        F       A#
That never takes a chance
         Dm                 Gm
It's the one, who won't be taken
      D#             F
Who cannot seem to give
        A#                F
And the soul afraid of dying
 D#           F         A#
That never learns to live


[Verse 3]

          A#                   F
When the night has been too lonely
         D#        F         A#
And the road has been too long
          A#                F
And you feel that love is only
         D#      F        A#
For the lucky and the strong
      Dm              Gm
Just remember in the winter
        D#              F     
Far beneath the bitter snow
          A#                  F
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
         D#        F         A#
In the spring becomes the rose
