The Rose Cifras

[Verse]
         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
         Cmaj7        Fadd9
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's only seed
 
[Verse]
                       G
It's a heart afraid of breaking of breaking
     F     G         C
That never learns to dance
                       G
It's a dream afraid of waking
     F     G         C
That never takes the chance
         Em               Am7
It's the one who won't 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
 
[Verse]
                           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's love
   F      G           C
In spring becomes the rose
