Rose

 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

   A                     E
Some say love it is a hunger
    D        D       E
An endless aching need
       A             E
I say love it is a flower
    D        E        A
And you it's only seed


[Verse 2]

Continues after the ad
A                         E
It's the heart afraid of breaking
D              E         A
That never learns to dance
  A
It's the dream afraid of waking that
 never takes the chance
  A                               E
It's the one who won't be taken
  D                  E
Who cannot seem to give
  A                     E         
And the soul afraid of dying that 
       D      E   A
never learns to live


[Verse 4]

         A                      E
When the night has been too lonely
         D         E         A
And the road has been too long
           A                E
And you think that love is only
         D     E          A
For the lucky and the strong


[Chorus]

 A                      D     
Just remember in the winter far 
                      E
beneath the bitter snows
          A
Lies the seed
               E
That with the sun's love
         D
In the spring
   E            A
Becomes the rose
