I'm a tough guy anyway.
Hi!
This little game I like to play,
called Run Back There and Touch the Wall.
See if you can get back before they stop clapping.
Hi!
[G] Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Hi!
This song I think is the best song that I've ever written.
None [N] of the one of those I had nothing to do with.
I, uh, I was driving on the coast of California
one day feeling very, very unhappy and depressed,
really feeling a total loss.
That's how it was.
And, uh, what happened is that somewhere about [G] five hours,
six hours into the drive,
I started thinking about you people.
And I started thinking about how lucky I am
to be able to do the thing that I love more
than anything else in the world.
And that there's people out there listening.
And all of a sudden the whole thing turned around for me.
Just totally turned around.
It's like the sun came out.
And all of a sudden with the sun,
a song came floating by.
I spent the rest of the day driving back to Los Angeles
capturing [A] that song.
It was written for you.
I want you [Dm] to know that.
Last spring also when my father passed away,
[Bm] the love and support that I got from you people,
uh, [N] cards and letters I got from people all over the world,
many, many from here in Britain.
And, uh, it's really what got me through the biggest loss
I've ever had to face in my life.
So again, this song came to mind.
And it is your song.
It was written for each of you.
I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
It's called Perhaps Love.
[D] [G]
[D] [G] Perhaps love is like a [Em] resting place,
[C] a shelter from the [D] storm.
[G] It exists to give you [Em] comfort.
[Am] It is there to [D] keep you warm.
[Bm] And in those [Em] times of trouble [C] when you are [D] most alone,
[Am] the memory of [D] love will bring [G] you home.
[D] [G] Perhaps love is like a [Em] window, [C] perhaps an open [D] door.
It [G] invites you to [Em] come closer.
[Am] It wants to show you [D] more.
[G] [Bm]
And even if [Em] you lose yourself
[C] and don't know what to [D] do,
[Am] the memory of [D] love will see [G] you through.
[Bm]
A love to [Em] some is like a cloud,
[C] to [D] some as strong as [G] steel.
[Bm] For some a way [Em] of living, [C] for [G] some a way to feel.
[B] Some say [Em] love is holding on, [C] and [G] some say letting go.
[B] Some say [Em] love is everything, [Am] and some say they don't know.
[D]
[G] Perhaps love is like the [Em] ocean,
[C] full of conflict, [D] full of change.
[G] Like a [Em] fire when it's cold outside,
[Am] or thunder when it [D] rains.
[Bm] If I should live [Em] forever [C] and all my dreams [D] come true,
my [Am] memories [D] of love will be [G] of you.
