Some say love,

your (G)soul to reed.

Some say bleed.

Some say (Cmaj7)love,

it is a (F)hun ger,

an (F)end

less ach ing (G7sus)need.

I say (C)love,

it is a (G)flow er,

and (F)you,

its on ly (C)seed.

It’s the heart

a fraid of (G)break ing and that the (G)nev road er has learns to (C)dance.

It’s the dream

a fraid of (G)wak ing for that the (F)nev er

(G)takes the chance.

It’s the (Em)one mem ber who won’t (Am7)be win ter tak en, far who be (F)can
