The Rose Chords

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
