The Rose chords by Westlife

These are the chords that work for me, capo on 2
suits me fine so just fiddle around with your voice

First paragraph
         A                E
Some say love it is a river
      D          E       A
That drowns the tender reed
         A                E
Some say love it is a razor
         D         E      A
That leaves your soul to bleed

Second paragraph

        A              E
Some say love it is a hunger
    D        D       E
An endless aching need
       A             E
I say love it is a flower
    D        E        A
And you it's only seed

Prechorus

          A              E
It's the heart afraid of breaking
D              E         A
That never learns to dance

Chorus

  A                       E          D     E          A
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
          A                 D
It's the one who won't be taken
  D                  E
Who cannot seem to give
  A                     E                D      E   A
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

third paragraph
         A                      E
When the night has been too lonely
         D         E         A
And the road has been too long
           A                E
And you think that love is only
         D     E          A
For the lucky and the strong

Last paragraph

 A                      D                           E
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
          A
Lies the seed
               E
That with the sun's love
         D
In the spring
   E            A
Becomes the rose

The last paragraph i play by using a single upwards strum or by plucking
softly to create a nice melody

The strumming for the rest of the piece is just your basic up and down
