G                     C
I need love, love to ease my mind
G             Bm        Em          Am
And I need to find time, someone to call mine
    D
My Mama said

Chorus:
     G
You can't hurry love.
        C            G
No you just have to wait
          Bm              Em
She said: Love don't come easy
    Am              D
But it's a game of give and take
     G
You can't hurry love.
        C            G
No you just have to wait
      Bm         Em
Just trust on a good time
    Am         D
No matter how long it takes

Bm
How many heartaches must I stand
         Em
before I find the love to let me live again
              Am
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on
        D
When I feel my strength
 G       D7
Oh, it's almost gone
     D
I remember Mama said

Chorus:
     G
You can't hurry love.
        C            G
No you just have to wait
           Bm              Em
She said: Love don't come easy
    Am              D
But it's a game of give and take
     G
How long must I wait?
          C           G
How much more must I take
       Bm    Em
Before loneliness
       Am              D
Will 'cause my heart, heart to break?

No, I can't bear to live my life alone
I've grown impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
Well these precious words
Keep me hanging on
I remember Mama said

Chorus:
“(You can't hurry love)
No, you'll just have to wait”
She said, “Love don't come easy
But it's a game of give and take”
“You can't hurry love (Hoo)
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes”
And now break!

     G                     C
Now love, love don't come easy
G     Bm      Em          Am  D
But I keep on waiting, anticipating
          G                     C
For that soft voice to talk to me at night
G        Bm     Em       Am      D
For some tender arms to hold me tight
        G            C
I keep waiting, oh 'til that day,
G             Bm    Em                    Am
But it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy.
    D
My Mama said

Chorus:
I keep waiting (Hoo)
Till that day
But it ain't easy, no (Love don't come easy)
You know it ain't easy, my mama said

“You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said, “Love don't come easy
But it's a game of give and take”

“You can't hurry love (Hoo)
No, you'll just have to wait”
She said, “Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take”
“You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait”
