Intro: G Em C D7
 
G Em C D
Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
G Em C D7
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm
Bm Em C D
And in those times of trouble, when you are most alone
Am7 D7 G D7
The memory of love, will bring you home
G Em C D
Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door
G Em C D7
It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more
Bm Em C D
And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do
Am7 D7 G
The memory of love, will see you through
Bm Em C D7 G
Oh love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel
Bm Em C D7 G
For some a way of living, for some a way to feel
Bm Em C D7 G
And some say love is holding on and some say letting go
Bm Em Am7 D7
And some say love is everything and some say they don't know
G Em C D
Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain
G Em C D7
Like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains
Bm Em C D
If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true
Am7 D7 G
My memories of love, will be of you
