[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

[Half-Chorus]
 
    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  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

quitman is right - "In those times of trouble" - has the Bm/Em reversed. Also "full of conflict full of CHANGE". But thanks for putting these out there!
