Chords for LeAnn Rimes Performs "The Rose" with The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles

[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
Thank you very [Eb] much.
This [F] has truly been a wonderful night.
[Cm] Happy holidays to you all.
_ It's been an honor for me to [Bbm] sing with all of these wonderful men and it's been an incredible
[C] year but also a very tragic year for [Bb] a lot of young gay men and women who have been taking
their own [Bbm] lives because they can't be themselves.
And if I make it through [Gm] this without crying,
we [F] love you.
Thank you. _ _
_ _ It's _ [Bb] really sad when people can't be [Gm] themselves and this [Eb] is dedicated
to all [Cm] those who've lost their lives and their families and [Bb] also to those who haven't found
their way yet but hopefully they can hang on [Eb] long enough and there's still hope and it does get
better.
[Bbm] So now I'm going to try to sing.

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] That _ leaves your [F] [Bb] soul to bleed
_ [Cm] _ [Dm] _
[Bb] Some [C] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] say love it [Gm] is hunger
_ _ [Eb] An _ [Cm] endless [F] aching [Cm] [F] need
_ _ [Bb] I [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
say love it [F] is a flower
_ [Eb] Have you?
_ [F]
It's [Eb] only _ [Bb] [Eb] seeds
_ [Bb] _
It's [F] _ [Bb] the _ _ heart [F] afraid of breaking
_ _ [Eb] That never _ [F] _ [Bb] learns to dance
It's the _ dream [F] afraid of waking
_ [Eb] That never _ _ [F] [Bb] takes the chance
It's [Dm] the one who [Gm] won't be taken
_ [Eb] Who _ [Cm] cannot [F] seem to gain
[Bb] And the soul _ [F] afraid of dying
It's the man [Eb] that never _ _ [F] _
[Bb] _ learns to [Eb] _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
[Eb] live
_ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Gm] When _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] the night has [F]
been too lonely
_ [Eb] And the road [Bb] has been too long
_ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] _ [F] _ And [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] you think that [F] love is only [Eb] for the lucky _ _ [Bb]
and the strong
_ _ [Cm] [Dm] Just _
[Bb] _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ remember _ _ [Gm] winter _
Far [Eb] [Ebm] beneath [Cm] _ the bitter snow
[F] _ _ From [Gm] still [Eb] and [Bb] _ [F] distant
[Cm] _ [Bb] Rises _ the _ seed
That [F] when the sun's love
[Eb] In the spring _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Eb] Becomes raw
[Bb]
Love, [Cm] I [Bb] tell you
