{intro} 
 
   D                D(9)         Dsus                  Dsus 
If you ever need to hear a voice in the middle of the night 
        D          D(9)        Dsus    Dsus 
when it seems so black outside that you can't remember 
 G(9)        G(9)      G(9)             G(9)      D     D(9)     Dsus   D 
light ever shone on you or the ones you love in this or another lifetime 
 
And the voice you need to hear is the true and the trusted kind, with a soft 
familiar rhythm in these swirling, unsure times, when the waves are lapping in 
and you're not sure you can swim, well here's the lifeline 
 
   Em7(4)        Em7(4)     Em7(4)           Em7(4) 
If you ever need to feel a hand take up your own 
D/F#              D/F#             D/F#             D/F# 
When you least expect but want it more than you've ever known 
Gsus9          Gsus9   Gsus9         Gsus9     Asus       Asus  Asus  Asus 
Baby, here's that hand, and baby's here's my voice that's calling 
 
      D   D(9)  Dsus  D    Em7(4)        Em7(4)   Asus   Asus 
This is love,              all that ever was and will be 
      D   D(9)  Dsus  D    D   D(9)  Dsus  D 
This is love 
 
If you ever need some proof that time can heal your wounds, just step 
inside my heart and walk around these rooms; where the shadows used to be, 
you can feel as well as see how peace can hover 
 
Time's been here to fix what's broken with its power and the love that 
smashed us both to bits spent its last few hours calling out your name, 
and I thought, this is the kind of pain from which we don't recover 
 
But I'm standing here now with my heart held out to you 
You would have thought a miracle was all that got us through 
Well baby, all I know, all I know is I'm still standing 
 
And this is love, all that ever was and will be 
This is love, standing up for you baby, standing up for me 
 
G(9)     G(9)     G(9)                 G(9) 
  And I see you still and there's this catch in my 
   Asus        Asus         Asus          Asus 
throat; And I just swallow hard till it leaves me 
G(9)      G(9)             G(9)             G(9) 
  There's nothing in this world that can change what we know 
Asus      Asus        Asus     Asus      G(9)  G(9)  G(9)  G(9) 
Still I know I am here if you ever need me 
 
          D   D(9)   Dsus   D    Em7(4)  Em7(4)  Asus   Asus 
And this is love {guitar solo}

If you ever think of me, let it be around twilight, when the world has 
settled down, and the last round of sunlight is waning in the sky as you 
sit and watch the night descending 
 
A car will pass out front with lovers at the wheel, a dog will bark out 
back, and children's voices peal over and under the air, you've been there, 
lost in the remembering 
 
If you ever wish for things that are only in the past 
Just remember that the wrong things aren't supposed to last 
Baby, it's over and done, the rest is gonna come when you let it 
 
And this is love, all that ever was and will be 
This is love, when you let it baby, if you let it now 
This is love, all that ever was and can be 
This is love
