[Verse 1]
          D            A
Some say love it is a river
      G          A      D
That drowns the tender reed
          D             A
Some say love, it is a razor
      G           A      D
That leaves your soul to bleed
         F#m           Bm            
Some say love, it is a hunger
     G            A
An endless aching need
       D              A
I say love, it is a flower
     G       A     D
And you it's only seed

[Verse 2]
          D                 A
It's the heart afraid of breaking
      G     A         D
That never learns to dance
           D               A
It's the dream afraid of waking
      G     A          D
That never takes the chance
         F#m               Bm              
It's the one who won't be taken
     G               A
Who can not seem to give
         D              A
And the soul afraid of dying
      G     A         D
That never learns to live

[Verse 3]
          D                   A
When the night has been too lonely
         G                 D
And the road has been too long
          D                  A
And you think, that love is only
          G   A         D
For the lucky and the strong
     F#m              Bm            
Just remember in the winter
      G                 A
Far beneath the bitter snows
          D                   A
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love
         G       A         D
In the spring becomes the rose
