[C]
Some say love, it is a river [G]
that [F] drowns [C] the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a [G] razor that [C] leaves your [G] soul [C] to bleed.
Some [Em] say love, it is [Am] a hunger and
[F] [C] a saking need.
[G] I [C]
say love, it is a [G] flower
[F] and you, [G]
its [C] only seed.
It's the heart that fears the [G] breaking,
[F] that never [G]
[C] learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of [G] waking,
[F] that never [G]
[C] takes a chance.
[Em] It's the one who won't be [C] taken, [F] [Dm]
who cannot seem [F] to give.
[G] [Cm] And [Gm] [C] the soul afraid of dying, [G]
[F] who never
[G] [C] learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely, [G]
and [F] the road [G] has been [C] too long.
When you think that love is [G] only for [F] the laughing and for the [C] strong.
Just [Em] remember, in [C] the [F] winter,
[Dm] far beneath the bitter [G] snows.
Lies [C] the sea, that with the [G] sun's love, in [F] the spring
[C] becomes the rose.

When the night has been [A] too lonely, [G] and the road [A] [D]
