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