[Verse 1]
         A              F#m
Perhaps love is like a resting place
   Bm               E
A shelter from the storm
    A                  F#m
It exists to give you comfort
       Bm                E
It is there to keep you warm
 C#m          F#m
And in those times of trouble
     D             E
When you are most alone
     Bm        E                   A     E
The memory of love will bring you home
 
[Verse 2]
         A              F#m
Perhaps love is like a window
 Bm              E
Perhaps an open door
     A                  F#m
It invites you to come closer
    Bm                E
It wants to show you more
    C#m          F#m
And even if you lose yourself
    D                  E
And don’t know what to do
     Bm        E                 A
The memory of love will see you through
 
[Chorus]
    C#m             F#m
Oh Love to some is like a cloud
    D       E         A
To some as strong as steel
     C#m           F#m
For some a way of living
     D      E      A
For some a way to feel
     C#m              F#m
And some say love is holding on
     D        E       A
And some say letting go
     C#m              F#m
And some say love is everything
 Bm                  E
Some say they don’t know
 
[Verse 3]
         A                F#m
Perhaps love is like the ocean
         Bm                E
Full of conflict, full of pain
        A              F#m
Like a fire when it’s cold outside
 Bm              E
Thunder when it rains
   C#m            F#m
If I should live forever
    D                   E
And all my dreams come true
    Bm          E               A
My memories of love will be of you
 
[Break]
C#m  F#m  D  E  A
C#m  F#m  D  E  A
 
[Chorus]
     C#m              F#m
And some say love is holding on
     D        E       A
And some say letting go
     C#m              F#m
And some say love is everything
 Bm                  E
Some say they don’t know
 
[Verse 4]
        A                 F#m
Perhaps love is like the ocean
         Bm                E
Full of conflict, full of pain
        A              F#m
Like a fire when it’s cold outside
 Bm              E
Thunder when it rains
   C#m            F#m
If I should live forever
     D                  E
And all my dreams come true
    Bm          E               A
My memories of love will be of you

This sounds really good if you play finger style to keep a soft feel to the song. Place your index, middle, and ring finger on the g, b, and high e string respectively and thumb on the base note. To Play: Pluck all 4 fingers to play the chord followed by your index, middle, and then ring finger (g, b, and then high e string).
