Some say C love, it is a G7 river   
That F drowns the G tender C reed.   
Some say love, it is a G7 razor   
That F leaves your G soul to C bleed.   
Some say Cmaj7 love, it is a Fadd9 hunger,   
An F endless aching G7sus need.  
G7 I say C love, it is a G flower   
And F you its only C seed.   
   
It's the heart afraid of G breakin'   
That F never G learns to C dance.   
It's the dream afraid of G wakin'  
That F never G takes the C chance.   
It's the Em one who won't be Am7 taken   
Who F cannot seem to G give   
And the C soul afraid of G dyin'   
That F never G learns to C live.  
   
When the night has been too G lonely   
And the F road has G been too C long   
And you think that love is G only   
For the F lucky G and the C strong,   
Just E remember in the A7 winter   
Far F beneath the bitter G snows   
Lies the C seed that with the G sun's love   
In the F spring G becomes the C rose.
