The Rose

**Chords:**
C  G  Am  F

C                  G  
Some say love, it is a river  
Am               F  
That drowns the tender reed  
C                     G  
Some say love, it is a razor  
Am                 F  
That leaves your soul to bleed  
C                   G  
Some say love, it is a hunger  
Am                  F  
An endless aching need  
C                   G  
I say love, it is a flower  
Am                F  
And you, its only seed  

C                    G  
It's the heart afraid of breaking  
Am                     F  
That never learns to dance  
C                   G  
It's the dream afraid of waking  
Am                  F  
That never takes the chance  
C                   G  
It's the one who won't be taken  
Am                   F  
Who cannot seem to give  
C                   G  
And the soul afraid of dying  
Am                F  
That never learns to live
