CAPO 2
1. I need love, love, to ease my mind, G / C G
I need to find, find,someone to call mine. But mama said: Bm/Em Am / D
You can’t hurry love, no, you just have to wait. G/ C G
She said, love don’t come easy, it’s a game of give and take. Bm Em / Am — D
You can’t hurry love, no, you just have to wait, G/ C G
you got to trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes. Bm/Em Am / D
2. But how many heartaches must I stand, Bm
before I find a love to let me live again. Em
Right now the only thing that keeps me hangin’ on, Am
when I feel my strength, yeah, it’s almost gone. D D7
I remember, (mama said) :
You can’t hurry love, no, you just have to wait. G/ C G
She said, love don’t come easy, it’s a game of give and take. Bm/Em Am / D
How long must I wait, how much more can I take, G/ C G
before loneliness will cause my heart, heart to break? Bm/Em Am / D
3. No, I can’t bear to live my life alone, Bm
I grow impatient for a love to call my own. Em
But when I feel that I, I can’t go on, Am
these precious words keep me hanging on.I
remember (mama said) D D7
You can’t hurry love, no, you just have to wait. G/ C G
She said, love don’t come easy, it’s a game of give and take. Bm/Em Am / D
You can’t hurry love, no, you just have to wait. G/ C G
She said trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes. Bm/Em Am / D
4. No, love, love, don’t come easy, G/ C G
but I keep on waiting, anticipating Bm/Em Am / D
for that soft voice, to talk to me at night, G/ C G
for some tender arms, to hold me tight. Bm/Em Am / D
I keep waiting, I keep on waiting, G/ C G
But it ain’t easy, it ain’t easy. But mama said : Bm/Em Am / D
You can’t hurry love, no, you just have to wait. G/ C G
She said trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes. Bm/Em Am / D
You can’t hurry love, no, you just have to wait. G/ C G
She said, love don’t come easy, it’s a game of give and take… Bm/Em A
