Perhaps Love

Words and Music by John Denver
from Season Of The Heart (1982)


A  F#m  D  E  A  F#m  D  E7 

	 A              F#m 
Perhaps love is like a resting place
    Bm               E7 
A shelter from the storm
     A                 F#m 
It exists to give you comfort
	Bm               E7 
It is there to keep you warm
    C#m                 F#m 
And in those times of trouble
      D             E 
When you are most alone
     Bm7       E7                  A   E7 
The memory of love will bring you home

	 A              F#m 
Perhaps love is like a window
    Bm           E7 
Perhaps an open door
      A                  F#m 
It invites you to come closer
    Bm                E7 
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
     Bm7       E7                  A  
The memory of love will see you thru

   C#m             F#m 
O 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                   E7 
Some say they don't know

	 A               F#m 
Perhaps love is like the ocean
	 Bm               E7 
Full of conflict full of pain
	A              F#m 
Like a fire when it's cold outside
    Bm             E7 
A thunder when it rains
   C#m              F#m 
If I should live forever
    D                    E 
And all my dreams come true
    Bm7         E7              A   E7 
My memories of love will be of you

 C#m   F#m    D   E   A 
 C#m   F#m    D   E   A 
     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                   E7 
Some say they don't know

	 A               F#m 
Perhaps love is like the ocean
	 Bm               E7 
Full of conflict full of pain
	A              F#m 
Like a fire when it's cold outside
    Bm             E7 
A thunder when it rains
   C#m              F#m 
If I should live forever
    D                    E 
And all my dreams come true
    Bm7         E7              A   E7 
My memories of love will be of you
