| D | A | | Some say | love, it is a | river, |
|
| G | A | D | | That | drowns the | ten | der 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, |
|
| Em | A | | An | endless aching | need. |
|
| D | A | | I say | love, it is a | flower, |
|
| G | A | D | | And | you, its | only | seed. |
|
|
| 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, |
|
| Em | A | | Who | cannot seem to | give. |
|
| D | A | | It's the | soul afraid of | waking, |
|
| G | A | D | | That | never | learns to | live. |
|
|
| D | A | | When the | night has been too | lonely, |
|
| G | A | 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 re | member in the | winter, |
|
| Em | A | | Far be | neath the bitter | snow, |
|
| D | A | | Lies the | seed that with the | sun's love, |
|
| G | A | D | | In the | spring, be | comes the | rose. |
