[Intro]
D G C G
[Chorus]
G Am D
I beg your pardon
G
I never promised you a rose garden
Am D
Along with the sunshine
G
There's gotta' be a little rain some time
C
When you take you gotta' give so live and let live
Am
Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
Am7 D D7
I beg your pardon
G D
I never promised you a rose garden
[Verse 1]
G
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
Am
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
D D7
So you better think it over
G
Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
Am
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
D
But what would it matter
Am D
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Dm E
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Am C D
Come along and share the good times while we can
[Bridge]
Am D
I beg your pardon
G
I never promised you a rose garden
Am
Along with the sunshine
D G
Girl there's gotta be a little rain some time
[Interlude]
C Am Am7 D D7 G
[Verse 2]
G
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
Am
I'd just as soon let you go
D
But there's one thing I want you to know
G
You better look before you leap still waters run deep
Am
And there won't always be someone there girl to pull you out
D
And you know what I'm talkin' about
Am D
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Dm E
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Am C D
Come along and share the good times while we can..
[Outro]
Am D
I beg your pardon
D7 G
I never promised you a rose garden
Am D
Along with the sunshine
G
There's gotta be a little rain some time
C G
A little bit of rain
