THE ROSE 
 
 
         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 the soul to bleed 
         C5          F5
Some say love it is a hunger 
   F5              G5
An endless aching need 
G5    C5            G5
I say love it is a flower 
    F5           C5
And you it?only seed 
                     G5
It?a heart afraid of breaking of breaking 
     F5     G5         C5
That never learns to dance 
                     G5
It?a dream afraid of waking 
     F5     G5         C5
That never takes the chance 
                         A5
It?the Em one who won?be taken 
    F5              G5
Who cannot seem to give 
        C5              G5
And the soul afraid of dying 
     F5     G5         C5
That never learns to live 
                           G5
When the night has been so 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                  G5
Lies the seed that with the sun?love 
   F5      G5           C5
In spring becomes the rose
