Not the key that it is originally played in. But it's easier for me to sing this way.
G D
Some say love, it is a river
C G
that drowns the tender reed.
G D
Some say love, it is a razor
C G
that leaves your soul to bleed.
D C
Some say love, it is a hunger,
Am D
an endless aching need.
G D
I say love, it is a flower,
C D
and you it's only seed.
G D
It's the heart afraid of breaking
C G
that never learns to dance.
G D
It's the dream afraid of waking
C G
that never takes the chance.
D C
It's the one who won't be taken,
Am D
who cannot seem to give,
G D
and the soul afraid of dyin'
C G
that never learns to live.
G D
When the night has been too lonely
C G
and the road has been to long,
G D
and you think that love is only
C G
for the lucky and the strong,
D C
just remember in the winter
Am D
far beneath the bitter snows
G D
lies the seed that with the sun's love
C G
in the spring becomes the rose
