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

When you take you got to give, so, live and let
Bm
live, or let go..now..now..now
E7A
I beg your pardon..I never promised you a rose garden.
#1.
A
I could promise you things like big diamond rings,
Bm
but you don't find roses growing on stalks of clover..
E7
so, girl, think it over.
A
If sweet talking you could make it come true
Bm
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter..
E7
but what would it matter?

#2.
A
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon..
but if that's what it takes to hold you,
Bm
I'd rather let you go.
E7
But there's one thing I want you to know.
A
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep,
Bm
and there won't always be someone there to pull you out..
E7
and you know what I'm talking about.
