Per haps (G)love is like a rest ing (Em)place
A (C)shel ter from the storm,
It ex (G)ists to give you com fort, It is (Am)there to keep you warm,
And (Bm)in those times of trou ble
When (C)you are most a lone
The (Am)mem o ry of (D)love will bring you (G)home.
Per (G)haps love is like a win (Em)dow,
per (C)haps an o pen door,
It in (G)vites you to come clos er,
It (Am)wants to show you more.
And (Bm)e ven if you (Em)lose your self and (C)donβt know what to do,
the (Am)mem o ry of (D)love will see you (G)through.
Oh (Bm)love to some is (Em)like a cloud,
to (C)some as strong as (G)steel,
for (Bm)some a way of (Em)liv ing, for (C)some a way to (G)feel.
And (Bm)some say love is (Em)hold ing on and (C)some say (D)let ting go.
And (Bm)some say love is (Em)ev βry thing, and (Am)some say they donβt (D)know....
Per haps (G)love is like the o (Em)cean,
Full of (C)con flict, full of (D)change.
Like a (G)fire when itβs cold out side, or (Am)thun der when it rains.
If (Bm)I should live for (Em)ev er and (C)all my dreams come (D)true,
my (Am)mem o ries of (D)love will be of (G)you.
