[Verse 1]
G Em
Perhaps love is like a resting place
C D
A shelter from the storm
G Em
It exists to give you comfort
Am D
It is there to keep you warm
Bm Em
And in those times of trouble
C D
When you are most alone
Am7 D G D
The memory of love will bring you home
[Verse 2]
G Em
Perhaps love is like a window
C D
Perhaps an open door
G Em
It invites you to come closer
Am D
It wants to show you more
Bm Em
And even if you lose yourself
C D
And don't know what to do
Am7 D G
The memory of love will see you through
[Chorus]
Bm Em
Oh, love to some is like a cloud
C D G
To some as strong as steel
Bm Em
For some a way of living
C D G
For some a way to feel
Bm Em
And some say love is holding on
C D G
Some say letting go
Bm Em
Some say love is everything
Am D Dsus4 D
Some say they don't know
[Verse 3]
G Em
Perhaps love is like the ocean
C D
Full of conflicts, full of pain
G Em
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Am D
Or thunder when it rains
Bm Em
If I should live forever
C D
And all my dreams come true
Am7 D G Gsus4 G
My memories of love will be of you
[Instrumental]

And some say love is holding on
C D G
Some say letting go
Bm Em
Some say love is everything
Am D Dsus2 D
And some say they don't know
[Verse 4]
G Em
Perhaps love is like the mountains
C D
Full of conflict, full of change
G Em
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Am D
Or thunder when it rains
Bm Em
If I should live forever
C D
And all my dreams come true
Am7 D G
My memories of love will be of you

| Any time your playing a chord, you can switch up the top three notes. |
| Example: For a C chord, instead of playing C, G, high C, then high E, |
| you can play C, G, high E, then high C, or C, high E, high C, then G. |
| It doesn't really matter. It's up to your interpretation. |

Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel
For some a way of living, for some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on and some say letting go
And some say love is everything, and some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains
If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
Love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel
For some a way of living, for some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on and some say letting go
And some say love is everything, and some say they don't know
