CHORUS 1                                 [Chords within brackets only require one stroke]
         D                A
Some say love, it is a river
             G          (A)    D
And that it drowns the tender reed
                                 A
And some say love, it's like a razor
             G           (A)    D
And that it leaves your soul to bleed.

VERSE 1

      F#m              Bm
Some say love, it is a hunger
    G             D  (A)
An endless aching need
      D             A
I say love, it is a flower
     G          (A)   D
And you, it's only seed.

CHORUS 2

         D              A
It's the heart afraid of breaking
     G        (A)   D
That never learns to dance
                       A
It's a dream afraid of waking
     G         (A)     D
That never takes the chance


VERSE 2

        F#m            Bm
It's the one who won't be taken
      G            D  (A)
Who cannot seem to give
      D              A
And the soul afraid of dying
     G     (A)     D
That never learns to live.

CHORUS 3

         D                A
When the night has been too lonely
        G        (A)   D
And the road has been too long
                        A
And you think that love is only
        G     (A)   D
For the lucky and the strong


VERSE 3

   F#m             Bm
Just remember in the winter
    G                  D  (A)
Far beneath the bitter snows
        D                    A
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
G       (A)     D
In spring becomes the rose...
