[C]
Some say love, it [G] is a river that [F] drowns [G] the [C] tender reed.
Some say love, it [G] is a razor that [F] leaves [G] your [C] soul to bleed.
Some [Em] say love, it [F] is a hunger, an endless [G] aching need.
I [C] say love, it [G] is a flower and [F] in you [G] it's [C] only seed.
It's the heart [G] afraid of breaking [F] that never
[G] [C] learns to dance.
It's the dream [G] afraid of waking [F] that never [G] takes [C] the chance.
[Em] It's the one who [Am] won't be taken, [F] who cannot [G] seem to give.
And [C] the soul [G] afraid of dying [F] that never
[G] [C] learns to live.
When the night has [G] been too lonely [F] and the road [G] has [C] been too long.
That you think that [G] love is only [F] for the keen [G] [C] and the strong.
[Em] Just remember [Am] in the winter [F] far beneath the [G] bitter snow
[C] lies the sea that [G] with the sun's love [F] in the spring [G] [C] becomes the road.
