The Rose

C G F G C Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender re ed. C G F G C Some say love, it is a razor, that leads your soul to ble ed. Em Am7 F G Some say love it is a hunger, and endless aching need. C G F G C I say love, it is a flower and you its only seed. C G F G C It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. C G F G C It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes a chance. Em Am7 F G It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give C G F G C And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live. C G F G C And the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long. C G F G C And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong. Em Am7 F G Just re member in the winter for ben eath the bitter snow C G F G C Lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose.
