[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
[Outro]
F#m D E A

Leaving on a Jet Plane
John Denver
[Intro]
G C x2
[Verse 1]
G C
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
G C
I'm standing here out-side your door
G C D
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
G C
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn,
G C
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
G C D
Al-ready I'm so lonesome I could die.
[Chorus]
G C
So kiss me and smile for me
G C
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G C D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
G C
I'm leaving on a jet plane
G C
Don't know when I'll be back again
G C D
Oh babe I hate to go
[Verse 2]
G C
there's so many times I've let you down
G C
So many times I've played around
G C D
I tell you now they don't mean a thing
G C
every place i go i'll think of you
G C
every song i sing i'll sing for you
G C D
when i come back i'll bring your wedding ring.
[Chorus]
G C
So kiss me and smile for me
G C
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G C D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
G C
I'm leaving on a jet plane
G C
Don't know when I'll be back again
G C D
Oh babe I hate to go
[Verse 3]
G C
Now the time has come to leave you
G C
One more time let me kiss you
G C D
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way
G C
Dream about the days to come
G C
When I won't have to leave alone
G C D
A-bout the times I won't have to say.
[Chorus]
G C
So kiss me and smile for me
G C
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G C D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
G C
I'm leaving on a jet plane
G C
Don't know when I'll be back again
G C D
Oh babe I hate to go
