THE ROSE 
 
 
         C            G7
Some say love it is a river 
     F          G      C
That drowns the tender reed 
                      G7
Some say love it is a razor 
     F          G       C
That leaves the soul to bleed 
         C7M          F9
Some say love it is a hunger 
   F              G7sus
An endless aching need 
G7    C            G
I say love it is a flower 
    F           C
And you it?only seed 
                     G
It?a heart afraid of breaking of breaking 
     F     G         C
That never learns to dance 
                     G
It?a dream afraid of waking 
     F     G         C
That never takes the chance 
                         Am7
It?the Em one who won?be taken 
    F              G
Who cannot seem to give 
        C              G
And the soul afraid of dying 
     F     G         C
That never learns to live 
                           G
When the night has been so lonely 
        F        G        C
And the road has been too long 
                           G
And you think that love is only 
        F     G       C
For the lucky and the strong 
     E               A7
Just remember in the winter 
    F                  G
Far beneath the bitter snows 
         C                  G
Lies the seed that with the sun?love 
   F      G           C
In spring becomes the rose
