verse 1  

C                       G           F                C 
Some say love it is a river, that drowns the tender reed. 
                        G           F                   C 
Some say love it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed. 
          C7           F                          G 
Some say love it is a hunger, and endless aching need 
       C            G           F             C 
I say love it is a flower, and you it's only seed. 


verse 2  

C                          G             F      G        C 
It's the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance 
                           G           F     G          C 
It's the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance 
         Em                Am          F             G 
It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give 
         C               G           F     G        C 
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live. 


verse 3  

C                             G              F        G        C 
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long. 
                             G             F        G       C 
That you think that love is only, for the lucky    and the strong. 
      Em               Am           F                G 
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow 
          C                  G                   F      G         C 
Lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring, becomes a rose.
