Originally in C, I play in G

Intro

G

Some say lGove, it is a rD/F#iver

Some say love, it is a rD/F#azor

That lCeaves your soDul to blGeed

Some say lBmove, it is a hEmunger

An endCless aching nD7sus4eed D

I say lGove, it is a flDower and

YCou its onDly seGed

G

It’s the heGart afraid of breaDking

That nCever leaDrns to daGnce

It’s the drGeam afraid of wakDing

That Cnever takDes the chaGnce

It’s the Bmone who won’t be tEmaken

Who caCn not seem to gD7sus4ive

That nCever leDarns to liGve

G

When the nGight has been too loDnely
