[Chorus:]

[N.C.] Dm G C
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rosegarden.

Dm G C
Along with the sunshine, there's got to be a little rain sometime.

F
When you take you've got to give, so live and let live,

Dm F G
or let go, oh, oh, oh, oh. I beg your pardon, I never promised you

C
a rosegarden.

[Vers 1:]

C
I could promise you things like big diamond rings,

Dm
but you don't find roses growing on stalkes of clover.

G C
So, you better think it over. With a sweet-talking

you could make it come true. I would give you the world

Dm G
right now on a silver platter, but what would it matter?

[Bridge:]

Dm G
So smile for a while and let's be jolly,

Gm7 A7 Dm
love shouldn't be so melancholic, come along and share

Fm G
the good times while we can.

[Chorus 2:]

[N.C.] Dm G C
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rosegarden.

Dm G C
Along with the sunshine, there's got to be a little rain sometime.

[Vers 2:]

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

Dm
but if that's what it takes to hold you I would just soon let you go,

G
but there's one thing I want you to know.

C
You better look before you leave, still waters run deep

Dm
and there won't always be someone to pull you out

G
and you know what I'm talking about.
