Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
                                 C                               G                         F                         G                   C 
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
                                 C7M               F                                         Dm                       G 
Some say love, it is a hunger, an   endless aching need.
                 C                                 G                       F                   G           C 
I say love, it is a flower and you its only seed.
                       C                                         G                                 F           G                     C 
It's the heart afraid of breakin' that never learns to dance.
                       C                                         G                             F               G                     C 
It's the dream afraid of wakin' that never takes a chance.
                       Em                                           Am7                     F                                         G 
It's the ones who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
                           C                               G                         F               G                 D 
And the soul afraid of dyin' that never learns to live.
                                 C                                                 G                                     F                       G                     C 
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
                           C                                               G                           F             G                     C 
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
                     Em                                 Am7                           F                                         G 
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows
                             C                                                   G                                             F               G                             C 
Lies the seed that, with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose.
