G#m
No, I can't bear to live my life alone,
C#m
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
F#m
But when I feel that I, I can't go on,
B
these precious words keep me hanging on, I remember, (mama said)
[Chorus 3]
E A E
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait
G#m C#m F#m B
She said, love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take
E A E
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait
G#m C#m F#m B E
She said trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes
[Bridge]
E A E
No, love, love, don't come easy,
G#m C#m F#m B
but I keep on waiting, anticipating
E A E
for that soft voice, to talk to me at night
G#m C#m F#m B
for some tender arms, to hold me tight
E A E
I keep waiting, I keep on waiting,
G#m C#m F#m B
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy, but mama said
[Chorus]
E A E
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait
G#m C#m F#m B
She said trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes
E A E
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait
G#m C#m F#m B
She said, love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take
