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