Some say [C]love, it is a [G/B]river

That [F/A]drowns [G/B]the [C]tender reed

Some say [C]love, it is a [G/B]razor

That [F/A]leaves your [G/B]soul [C]to bleed

Some say [C/B]love, it is a [Am7]hunger

An [F/A]endless [F/G]aching need[G7]

 

I say [C]love, it is a [G/B]flower

And [F/A]you, its [G]only [C]seed

 

[C]

 

It's the [C]heart, afraid of [G]breaking

That [F]never [G]learns [C]to dance

It's the [C]dream, afraid [G]of waking

That [F]never [G]takes [C]the chance

 

It's the [C/B]one who won't [Am7]be taken[Am7/G]

Who [F]cannot seem to [G]give

 

And the [C]soul, afraid of [G]dying

That [F]never [G]learns [C]to live

 

When the [C]night has been too [G]lonely

And the [F]road has [G]been [C]too long

And you [C]think that love is [G]only

For the [F]lucky [G]and the [C]strong

 

Just [C/B]remember in the [Am7]winter

Far [F]beneath the bitter [G]snows

 

Lies the [C]seed that with the [G]sun's love

In the [F]spring [G]becomes the [C]rose
