[B] [G] [F] [D]
Some say love, [F#m] it is a river [G]
that [F#m] drowns [D] the tender reef
Some say love, [F#m] it is a razor [G]
that [A] leaves your [D] soul to bleed
[F#m] Some say love, [Bm] [A] [Bm] [Em]
an endless [Em] [G] aching [A] need
[D] I say love, [A] it is a flower, [G]
I knew [A] [D] it's only seed
It's the heart, [A] afraid of breaking, [G] that never [A] [D] learns to dance

[F#m] It's the world, [Bm] who won't be taken, [Em] who cannot [G] [A] seem to [D] give
[A] [D] And the soul, [A] afraid of dying, [G] that never [A] [D] learns to live
And the night, [A] has been too lonely, [G] and the hope, [F#m] has [D] been too long
And you think, that [A] love is only, [G] for the lucky
[D] And the dream, and the soul, [F#m] just remember
[G] [D] Far [Em]
beneath the [D] bitter snow, [A] [D] lies a sea
That [A] with the sun's love, [Em] in the [G] stream, [A] [D] becomes a rose
