[Chorus 1]
G                        C          G
Love is a rose but you'd better not pick it
   G                    D       G
It only grows when it's on the vine.
  G                            C           G
A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
    G                       D             G
You lose your love when you say the word "mine".

[Verse 1]
C                  G
I wanna see what's never been seen,
D                 G
I wanna live that age old dream.
C                     G
Come on, lass, we can go together
      D                   G
Let's take the best right now.

  Take the best right now.

[Chorus 2]
G                C        G
I wanna go to an old hoe-down
G             D       G
Long ago in a western town.
G                 C        G
Pick me up but my feet are draggin'
G                       D        G     G
Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon.

Love is a rose but you'd better not pick it
   G                    D       G
It only grows when it's on the vine.
  G                            C           G
A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it

You lose your love when you say the word "mine".
G     G
Mine, mine.
