The Rose

A E Some say love, it is a river D E A That drowns the tender reed E Some say love, it is a razor D E A That leaves your soul to bleed F#m D Some say love, it is a hunger Bm E An endless, aching need A E I say love, it is a flower D E A And you, its only seed E It's the heart, afraid of breaking D E A That never learns to dance E It's the dream, afraid of waking D E A That never takes the chance F#m D It's the one who won't be taken Bm E Who cannot seem to give A E And the soul, afraid of dyin' D E A That never learns to live E When the night has been too lonely D E A And the road has been too long E And you think that love is only D E A For the lucky and the strong F#m D Just remember in the winter Bm E Far beneath the bitter snow A E Lies the seed that with the sun's love D E A In the spring becomes the rose
