Some say love, it is a ri-ver

 -8    7     7  -8   8   8
That drowns the ten-der reed

 7   -8   8    8  -9 8  8 -8
Some say love, it is a ra-zor

 -8     7    7    -8  8    8
That leaves your soul to bleed

  8   -9  9    9 -10 9  9   7
Some say love, it is a hun-ger

-8  8    8    -8  7   6
An end-less, ach-ing need

7 -8    8   8 -9  8  8 -8
I say love, it is a flower

-8   7    7  -8 7  7
And you, its only seed.
