The Rose

C GSome say love, it is a river, F G CThat drowns the tender reed(Stay on C Chord) GSome say love, it is a razor, F G CThat leaves your soul to bleed Em AmSome say love it is a hunger, F GAn endless aching need C GI say love it is a flower and F G CYou its only seed

C GIt's the heart afraid of breaking F G CThat never learns to dance (C) GIt's the dream afraid of waking F G CThat never takes a chance Em AmIt's the one, who won't be taken F GWho cannot seem to give C GAnd the soul afraid of dying F G CThat never learns to live

C GWhen the night has been too lonely F G CAnd the road has been too long (C) GAnd you feel that love is only F G CFor the lucky and the strong Em AmJust remember in the winter F G-GsusFar beneath the bitter snow C GLies the seed that with the sun's love, F G CIn the spring becomes the rose
