C5 *
         C5            G5
Some say love it is a river
     F5     G5           C5       
That drowns the tender reed
                      G5
Some say love it is a razor
     F5     G5             C5
That leaves your soul to bleed

C5        E5           A5
Some say love it is a hunger
   F5              G5
An endless aching need
      C5            G5
I say love it is a flower
    F5  G5          C5
And you it's only seed

         C5               G5
It's the heart afraid of breaking
     F5    G5          C5
That never learns to dance
                         G5
It's the dream afraid of waking 
     F5    G5          C5
that never takes the chance
  
         E5               A5
It's the one who won't be taken
       F5           G5
Who cannot seem to give
        C5              D5
And the soul afraid of dying 
     F5    G5          C5
that never learns to live

         C5                  G5
When the night has been too lonely
        F5   G5             C5
And the road has been too long
                           G5
And you think that love is only
        F5    G5        C5
For the lucky and the strong

       E5            A5
Just remember in the winter 
      F5                G5
far beneath the bitter snows
         C5
Lies the seed
              G5
That with the sun's love
       F5     G5
In the spring
            C5
Becomes the rose
