Lyrics

Some times we make it (Bb)hard er than it is.

We’ll take a (F)per fect night

and (C)fill it up with (F)words we don’t mean,

dark (F)sides best un seen.

And we (Gm)won der why we’re feel ing this way.

Some times I won der if we (Bb)real ly feel the same.

Why we I’m can washed be un kind, a way by e ques tion ing the strong (Bb)deep est of hearts.

That’s ting (F)when we must start

be (F)liv liev ing ing through in the the one fi thing re that and has (C)hold got ing ten on us we this far.

That’s what love is for.

To (G)help us through it.

That’s what love (Bm)is for.

Noth ing (G)else can do it.

(G)Melt our de fens es, bring us (Gmaj7)back to our sens es, give us (Bb)strength to try once more.

Ba by, that’s what (C)love is for.

Some times I see you and you (Bb)don’t know I am there,

Why and I’m can washed be un kind, a way by e mo tions I hold strong (Bb)deep down in side, get ting (F)strong er with time.

It’s (F)liv liev ing ing through in the the one fi thing re that and has (C)hold got ing ten on us we this find:

That’s what love is for.

To (G)help us through it.

That’s what love (Bm)is for.

Noth ing (G)else can do it.

(G)Melt our de fens es, bring us (Gmaj7)back to our sens es, give us (Bb)strength to try once more.

Ba by, that’s what (C)love is for.

Be (Gm7)liev ing in the one thing that has (Bb)got ten us this far.

That’s what love is for.

To (Ab)help us through it.

That’s what love is for.

Noth ing (Ab)else can do it.

(Abmaj7)Round off the edg es, talk us (Abmaj7)down from the ledg es, give us (Cb)strength to try once more.

Ba by, that’s what love is for.

That’s what love is for.

To (Ab)help us through it.

That’s what love is for.

Noth ing (Ab)else can do it.

(Abmaj7)Melt our de fens es, bring us (Abmaj7)back to our sens es, give us (Cb)strength to try once more.

Ba by, that’s what love is for.
