Chords for Bette Midler - The Rose [Live 1995 - Emotional Performance]

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Some _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
say love, _ it is a [G] river _ that _ [F] _ _ drowns [G] the [C] tender _ reed. _
Some say love, _ it is [G] a razor _ that _ [F] _ _ leaves [G] your [C] soul to bleed. _ _
Some [Em] say love, _ _ it [Am] is a [D] [Am] hunger, _ _ [F] an endless, endless _ _ [C] aching need.
[G] _
I [C] say love, _ it [G] is a flower _ _ [F] and you, _ _
[G] its [C] only seed. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F] It's [C] the heart _ afraid [G] of breaking _ _ [F] that never _ _ [G] learns [C] to dance.
_ It's the _ dream afraid [G] of waking _ _ [F] that never _ _
_ [G] [C] takes a chance.
It's [Em] the one _ who [Am] won't be taken, _ _ [F] who cannot _ seek [G] to give. _
And [C] the soul _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
that [F] never _ _
[G] _ [C] learns to live.
_ _ _ _ _ _
When the night _ has been [G] too lonely _ _ and [F] the road _ has been [C] too long. _
[G] [C] And you think, you think that love is [G] _ only _ [F] for the keen _ _
[G] [C] and the strong. _
Just [Em] remember the _ _ _
_ [Am] [D] winter, [Am] _ _ [Em]
far [F] beneath, far beneath the bitter [G] snow.
_ The _ _ _ [C] _ seed _ _ that with [G] the sun's love _ in [F] spring _ _ _ _ [G] _
becomes the _ [C] _ _
_ rose. _ _ _
