[Verse 1]
Some say [C] love, it is a [G] river,
That [F] drowns [G] the tender [C] reed
Some say [C] love, it is a [G] razor,
That [F] leaves [G] your soul to [C] bleed
Some say [Em] love, it is a [Am] hunger,
An [F] endless aching [Dm7] need [G]
I say [C] love, it is a [G] flower
and [F] You its [G] only [C] seed
[Verse 2]
It's the [C] heart afraid of [G] breaking
That [F] never [G] learns to [C] dance
It's the [C] dream afraid of [G] waking
That [F] never [G] takes the [C] chance
It's the [Em] one who [Am] won't be [Am7] taken
Who [F] cannot [Dm7] seem to [G] give
And the [C] soul afraid of [G] dying
That [F] never [G] learns to [C] live
[Verse 3]
When the [C] night has been too [G] lonely
And the [F] road has [G] been too [C] long
And you [C] think that love is [G] only
For the [F] lucky [G] and the [C] strong
Just [Em] remember in the [Am] winter
Far [F] beneath the [G] bitter [Gsus] snow
Lies the [C] seed that with the [G] sun's love,
In the [F] spring [G] becomes the [C] rose
