Some say love, it  is  a  ri-ver

 -8    7     7   -8  8   8
That drowns the ten-der reed

 7   -8   8     8   -9   8   8  -8
Some say love,  it  is   a  ra-zor

 -8    7     7    -8  8    8
That leaves your soul to bleed

  8   -9  9      9 -10  9  9   7
Some say love,  it  is  a hun-ger

-8  8    8   -8   7   6
An end-less, ach-ing need

7  -8    8    8   -9  8   8 -8
I  say love,  it  is  a  flower

 -8  7    7  -8 7  7
And you, its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
 
 -8  7  7    -8   8    8
That never learns to dance

 7   -8   8    8  -9   8  8  -8
It's the dream afraid of waking

 -8  7  7   -8    8    8
That never takes the chance

 8   -9    9  9  -10   9  9   7
It's the one who won't be taken

 -8  8   8 -8   7   6
Who cannot seem to give

 7   -8  8   8  -9   8 8  -8
And the soul afraid of dying

-8   7  7   -8    7   7
That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely

 -8  7   7    7   -8   8    8
And the road has been too long

  7  -8    8    8   -9   8  8 -8
When you think that love is only

 -8  7   7  7 -8   8    8
For the lucky and the strong

  8  -9  9 9  -10   9    9  7
Just remember  in   the winter

 7  -8  8    8  -8  7   6
Far beneath the bitter snow

 7   -8   8     8    -9   8   8    -8
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love

-8  7     7    -8   8   7    7
In the spring, becomes the rose...
