The rose

Some say [Em] love it is a [Am] hunger
An [F] endless aching [G] need
I say [C] love it is a [G] flower
And [F] you [G] it’s only [C] seed

2. It’s the [C] heart afraid of [G] breaking
That [F] never [G] learns to [C] dance
It’s the dream afraid of [G] waking
That [F] never [G] takes the [C] chance

It’s the [Em] one who won’t be [Am] taken
Who [F] can not seem to [G] give
And the [C] soul afraid of [G] dying
That [F] never [G] learns to [C] live

3. When the [C] night has been too [G] lonely
And the [F] road [G] has been too [C] long
And you think that love is [G] only
For the [F] lucky [G] and the [C] strong

Just [Em] remember in the [Am] winter
Far [F] beneath the bitter [G] snows
Lies the [C] seed that with the [G] sun’s love
In the [F] spring [G] becomes the [C] rose
