E             B       A
Sometimes we make it harder than it is
E             B       A
We'll take a perfect night
     B               E              A
And fill it up with words we don't mean
      E            A
Dark sides best unseen
       F#m7                          B    A  B        
And we wonder why we're feeling this way
 
E           B             A
Sometimes I wonder if we really feel the same
E          B     A
Why we can be unkind
B                 E            A
Questioning the strongest of hearts
        E            A
That's when we must start
   F#m7           E                  A              A  B
Believing in the one thing that has gotten us this far
C#           F#     G#   
That's what love is for
    F#       G#
To help us through it
C#           F#     G#   
That's what love is for
        F#          G#
Nothing else can do it
F#          G#
Melt our defenses
         F#           G#
Bring us back to our senses
          A                   B
Give us strength to try once more
A                  B       C#    A  B    
Baby, that's what love is for
 
E           B                 A
Sometimes I see you, and you don't know I am there
E        B       A
And I'm washed away 
     B              E           A
By emotions I hold deep down inside
         E             A
Getting stronger with time
     F#m7                E        A              A B
It's living through the fire, and holding on we find

   F#m7           E                  A              A  B

Nothing else can do it
  G             A
Round off the edges
         G             A
Talk us down from the ledges
         Bb                   C
Give us strength to try once more
Bb                 C       D
