THE ROSE 
 
 
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 the G soul to C bleed 
Some say C7+   love it is a F9    hunger 
An F endless aching G7sus need 
G7 I say C love it is a G flower 
And F you it?only C seed 
 
It?a heart afraid of G breaking of breaking 
That F never G learns to C dance 
It?a dream afraid of G waking 
That F never G takes the C chance 
It?the Em one who won?be Am7 taken 
Who F cannot seem to G give 
And the C soul afraid of G dying 
That F never G learns to C live 
 
When the night has been so 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?love 
In F spring G becomes the C rose
