A Seed Before The Rose

A Seed Before The Rose 
by Tommy Overstreet
 
G               C     D7                   G
We were both so young and impatient at the time
                      C          A7
We thought we were in love so we closed our minds
D7             G
When they told us
               C    D7               G
Love is like a rose  it doesn't just appear
                C           A7
Give it time to grow  or it ends with tears
 
D7                 G     C   D7     G
There's gotta be a seed  before the rose
C             Am   B7                     EM 
Tender loving care makes it sweeter as it grows
C       D7       G    C                  G
There's gotta be love before the tie is bound
C                Am  B7                 C
Or the rose will end with petals on the ground
 
G              C    D7                             G
But we paid no mind to the things that we had been told
                   C           A7
And we pledged our love with a band of gold
D7
On our fingers
G               C    D7              G
Now when I look back  all that I can see
                   C             A7
Is heartache and regret and it's clear to me
D7                 G   C   D7       G
There's gotta be a seed  before the rose
