In this text I will give two versions for the Love Like You chords (steven universe ending theme)
Based on full version (4-min edit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clJk8a5q1Lo
First version: official chords, and instruction on playing them as the keyboard is originally played.
In original's key, using standard tuning.
Second version: guitar version. Chords are simplified slightly, and it is transposed a semitone up, to
assist in playing it naturally. To play those chords with the original, you need to tune your guitar one
semitone down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb).
Annotations for accurate playing marked: (will be in end, I recommend looking at them)

Version 2: Guitar
I like playing it with capo 3 - then I can sing without jumping octaves, and the higher pitch suits an
acoustic guitar better to my tastes. As mentoined, it is 1 semitone up - transpose guitar one
semitone (half-step) down to play with original.

Version 1: Piano
You can think of the song as 6/8, I think of it as alternating between 3/4 and 4/4. When I even
consider the timestamp (I generally ignore those completely).
If you trat it as 6/8:
1. Parts marked as 4/4 are changed thusly:
- when I say 3rd beat it is 4th
2. Parts marked as 3/4 are changed thusly:
- 2nd beat is 3rd
- 3rd beat is 5th
[Íntro - part 1 - 4/4]
