The Rose
Intro: C (x8)
Em C F C G F Dm C
Some say love, it is a ri-ver, that drowns, the ten-der reed,
Em C F C G F Dm C
Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves, your soul to bleed.
F Em Am Am7 Am F C Dm Dm7 G
Some say love, it is a hun-ger, an endless ach??ing need,
C Em C F C G F G C
I say love, it is a flower, and you, it's on-ly seed.
Em C F C G F Dm C
It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never, learns to dance,
Em C F C G F Dm C
It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never, takes the chance.
F Em Am Am7 Am F C Dm Dm7G
It's the one, who won't be ta-ken, who can-not seem to give,
C Em C F C G F G C
And the soul, afraid of dying, that never, learns to live.
Em C F C G F Dm C
When the night, has been too lonely, and the road, has been too long,
Em C F C G F Dm C
And you think, that love is on-ly, for the lucky, and the strong.
F Em Am Am7 Am F C Dm Dm7 G
Just re-member, in the win-ter, far beneath, the bit-ter snows,
C Em C F C G
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love,
F G C C
In the spring, becomes the rose.
