To trust in one another right from the start
                D#
When you're in love

I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone

How it hurts (Yeah) deep inside (Oh yeah)
When your love has cut
You down to size
Life is tough, on your own
Now I'm waiting for something
To fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love

Chorus

 F         A#   Dm
Yes it's a hard life

In a world that's filled with sorrow
           D#               A#                F Cm G# F
There are people searching for love in every way
        A#        Dm
It's a long hard fight
         D#                A#
But I'll always live for tomorrow
          D#                 A#                F
I'll look back at myself and say I did it for love
                  D#       G#  F                A#
Yes I did it for love for love oh I did it for love
