I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime.

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

           G                      
1. I could promise you things like big diamond rings
2. I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon 

                                                            A
1. but I don't find roses growin' on stalks of              glover
2. but if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go

                           D
1. so you better think it  over.
2. but there's one thing I want you to know.

             G                 
1. When it's sweet talking you could make it come true
2. So look before you leap still waters run deep

                                                    A
1. I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
2. and there won't always be someone to             pull you out.

                         D
1. but what would it     matter.
2. And you know what I'm talking about.

So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
