                G             D/F#       C              D   G
Some say love it is a river That drowns the tender reed
                G             D/F#        C                D    G
Some say love it is a razor That leaves your soul to bleed

                Bm7         Em           C                    Dsus4 D
Some say love it is a hunger An endless aching need
        G             D/F#         C         D G
I say love it is a flower And you it's only seed

           G                  D/F#              C      D        G
It's the heart afraid of breaking That never learns to dance
           G                   D/F#           C      D       G
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance

           Bm7                   Em            C                      Dsus4 D
It's the one who won't be taken Who cannot seem to give
            G                 D/F#         C       D       G
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

               G                         D/F#               C           D      G
When the night has been too lonely And the road has been too long
             G                      D/F#            C      D    G
And you think that love is only For the lucky and the strong

          Bm7               Em    Em/D C                    Dsus4 D
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
             G                         D/F#                 C            D              G
Lies the seed That with the sun's love In the spring Becomes the rose
