| 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 | G |
An end | less aching | need |
| C | G |
I say | love it is a | flower and |
| 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 a | chance |
| Em | Am |
It's the | one, who won't be | taken |
| F | G |
Who | cannot seem to | give |
| C | G |
And the | soul afraid of | dying |
| F | G | C |
| That never | learns to | live |
| C | G |
When the | night has been too | lonely |
| F | G | C |
And the | road has | been too | long |
| C | G |
And you | feel that love is | only |
| F | G | C |
For the | lucky | and the | strong |
| Em | Am |
Just | remember in the | winter |
| F | G |
Far be | neath the bitter | snow |
| C | G |
Lies the | seed that with the | sun's love, |
| F | G | C |
In the | spring | becomes the | rose |
