The Rose

Some say [C]love it is a [G]river

That [F]drowns the [G]tender [C]reed

Some say [C]love it is a [G]razor

That [F]leaves your [G]soul to [C]bleed

Some say [Em]love it is a [Am]hunger

An [F]endless [Dm7]aching [G]need

I say [C]love it is a [G]flower

And [F]you, it's [G]only [C]seed

 

It's the [C]heart afraid of [G]breaking

That [F]never lea[G]rns to [C]dance

It's the [C]dream afraid of [G]waking

That [F]never tak[G]es a chance

It's the [Em]one who won't be ta[Am]ken

Who [F]cannot [D]seem to [G]give

And the [C]soul afraid of [G]dying

T[F]hat never [G]learns to [C]live

 

When the [C]night has been too [G]lonely

And the [F]road has b[G]een too [C]long

And you [C]think that love is [G]only

For the [F]lucky and[G] the [C]strong

Just r[Em]emember in the [Am]winter

Far ben[F]eath the [Dm7]bitter [G]snows

Lies the s[C]eed

That with the s[G]un's love

In the spr[F]ing

Be[G]comes the [C]rose
