D           A
Some say love it is a river
     Bm               #Fm
That drowns the tender reed
         D           A
Some say love it is a razor
     Bm                 #Fm
That leaves your soul to bleed


         #Am          D
Some say love it is a hunger
    Bm             A
And endless aching need
      D            A
I say love it is a flower
    Bm           D
And you its only seed

         D               A
It’s the heart afraid of breaking
     Bm             #Fm
That never learns to dance
         D               A
It’s the dream afraid of waking
     Bm             #Fm
That never takes the chance


         #Am              D
It’s the one who won’t be taken
    BM              A
Who can not seem to give
        D              A
And the soul afraid of dying
     Bm              D
That never learns to live

         D                  A
When the night has been too lonely
        Bm               #Fm
And the road has been too long
         D                 A
And you think that love is only
        Bm            #Fm
For the lucky and the strong

     #Am             D
Just remember in the winter
    BM                 A
Far beneath the bitter snow
         D                  A
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love
       Bm                 D
In the spring becomes the rose
