Intro:

C majorC

Verse 1:

C majorC            G+G      FF        C majorC
Some say love it is a river, that drowns the tender reed.
            G+G      FF          C majorC
Some say love it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed.
     C7C7      FF             G+G
Some say love it is a hunger, and endless aching need
    C majorC      G+G      FF       C majorC
I say love it is a flower, and you it's only seed.


Verse 2:

C majorC             G+G       FF   G+G    C majorC
It's the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance
              G+G      FF   G+G     C majorC
It's the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance
     E minorEm        A minorAm     FF       G+G
It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give
     C majorC        G+G      FF   G+G    C majorC
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live.


Verse 3:

C majorC               G+G       FF    G+G    C majorC
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long.
               G+G       FF    G+G    C majorC
That you think that love is only, for the lucky  and the strong.
   E minorEm        A minorAm      FF        G+G
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow
     C majorC         G+G          FF   G+G     C majorC
