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 Some say love it is a hunger An endless aching need I say love it is a flower And you its only seed It's the heart afraid of breaking That never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking That never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken Who cannot seem to give And the soul afraid of dyin' That never learns to live When the night has been too lonely And the road has been too long And you think that love is only For the lucky and the strong C#m F#m Just remember in the winter D E far beneath the bitter snows A Lies the seed E That with the sun's love D In the spring E A Becomes the rose You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA C#m D E F#m Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
