The rose (2006)    (video)    (midi)

 

                      G              D                C             D         G

1. Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed,

                      G              D              C                  D          G

    some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.

                     Bm              Em            C                         D

    Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.

              G                 D              C        D      G      - G

    I say love, it is a flower and you its only seed.

 

                   G                     D                 C       D             G

2. It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance,

                    G                     D                C      D                G

    it's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.

                Bm                      Em                C                       D

    It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give,

                   G                   D               C       D           G      - G

    and the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live.

 

                      G                           D                      C             D           G

3. When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long,

                     G                      D                C       D             G

    and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong.

                 Bm                 Em                  C                        D

    Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows

                   G                          D                          C          D              G

    lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose.
