[CHORUS 1] [Chords within brackets only require one stroke]
         D                A
Some say love, it is a river

             G          ( A )    D
And that it drowns the tender reed

                                 A
And some say love, it's like a razor

             G           ( A )    D
And that it leaves your soul to bleed.
[VERSE 1]
      F#m              Bm
Some say love, it is a hunger

    G             D  ( A )
An endless aching need

      D             A
I say love, it is a flower

     G          ( A )   D
And you, it's only seed.
[RIFF] [CHORUS 2]
         D              A
It's the heart afraid of breaking

     G        ( A )   D
That never learns to dance

                       A
It's a dream afraid of waking

     G         ( A )     D
That never takes the chance
[VERSE 2]
        F#m            Bm
It's the one who won't be taken

      G            D  ( A )
Who cannot seem to give

      D              A
And the soul afraid of dying

     G     ( A )     D
That never learns to live.
[RIFF] [CHORUS 3]
         D                A
When the night has been too lonely

        G        ( A )   D
And the road has been too long

                        A
And you think that love is only

        G     ( A )   D
For the lucky and the strong
[VERSE 3]
   F#m             Bm
Just remember in the winter

    G                  D  ( A )
Far beneath the bitter snows

        D                    A
Lies the seed that with the sun's love

G       ( A )     D
In spring becomes the rose...
