I beg your pardon.. I never promised you a rose garden.

Along with the sunshine.. there's gotta be a little rain, sometimes.

When you take you got to give, so, live

and let live, or let go..whoa..whoa..whoa..whoa..

I beg your pardon..I never promised you a rose garden.

C
I could promise you things like big diamond rings, but you don't find roses growing on stalks

Dm
of clover..


G7
so, you better think it over.
             C
Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true

                                                                                      Dm
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter..

                                G7
but what would it matter?

be so melancholy...

come along and share the good times whiles

I beg your pardon.. I never promised you a rose garden.

C
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon..

but if that's what it takes to hold you,

Dm
I'd just as soon let you go.

                    G7
But there's one thing I want you to know.
                    C
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep,
and there won't always be someone there to

Dm
pull you out..

G7
and you know what I'm talking about..
