Some say [/] [C] love it is a [/] [G7] river
That [/] [F] drowns the [G7↓] tender [/] [C] reed
Some say [/] [C] love it is a [/] [G7] razor
That [/] [F] leads your [G7↓] soul to [/] [C] bleed
Some say [/] [Em7] love it is a [/] [Am] hunger
An [/] [F] endless aching [/] [G7] need
I say [/] [C] love it is a [/] [G7] flower
And [/] [F] you [G7↓] its only [/] [C] seed [/] [C]


It's the [/] [C] heart afraid of [/] [G7] breaking
That [/] [F] never [G7↓] learns to [/] [C] dance
It's the [/] [C] dream afraid of [/] [G7] waking
That [/] [F] never [G7↓] takes a [/] [C] chance
It's the [/] [Em7] one who won't be [/] [Am] taken
Who [/] [F] cannot seem to [/] [G7] give
And the [/] [C] soul afraid of [/] [G7] dying
That [/] [F] never [G7↓] learns to [/] [C] live [/] [C]


When the [/] [C] night has been too [/] [G7] lonely
And the [/] [F] road has [G7↓] been too [/] [C] long
And you [/] [C] find that love is [/] [G7] only
For the [/] [F] lucky [G7↓] and the [/] [C] strong
Just re- [/] [Em7] member in the [/] [Am] winter
For be- [/] [F] neath the bitter [/] [G7] snow
Lies the [/] [C] seed that with the [/] [G7] sun's love
In the [/] [F] spring [G7↓] becomes the [/] [C] rose [/] [C] [/] [C] [/] [C↓]
