Is there something that kills grass but not shrubs/plants?

I have tons of flower beds and landscaping borders and my grass won't stop invading every year.
I have edged religiously, pulled out of the ground when possible, etc. shite just comes right back.
I wish there was some spray like a roundup that would be longer lasting killer, be easier than manual labor to remove, but not harm the flowers, shrubs, and bushes.
Does that exist?

Spray something with clethodim in it like Select or Avatar. It will kill grasses but not kill broadleaf. I spray in my garden and flower beds and it will ding tomato plants a little bit, but doesn’t harm anything else

You can use herbicides with the ingredients clethodim, sethoxydim, or fluazifop-p which will kill grass but not damage flowers and shrubs. Or use organic methods like vinegar, boiling water... Then, you can cover the soil of the flower bed with a 3 inch layer of mulch to discourage grass seeds from germinating. You can also use landscape fabric, but it's too time consuming imho.
