VERSE 1: D G D I need love, love - to ease my mind F#m Bm Em And I need to find time - someone to call mine A My mama said

CHORUS B: D You can’t hurry love G D No you just have to wait F#m Bm She said love don’t come easy Em A It’s a game of give and take D How long must I wait? G D How much more must I take F#m Bm Before loneliness Em Will cause my heart A7 Heart to break?

BRIDGE B: F#m 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 A Aadd9 A2 Well these precious words - keep me hangin on A72 I remember Mama said

D Now break!

VERSE 2: D G D Now love, love don’t come easy F#m Bm Em A But I keep on waiting, anticipating for that D G D Soft voice to talk to me at night F#m Bm Em A7 For some tender arms to hold me tight D G D I keep waiting, oh til that day F#m Bm Em But it ain’t easy, no you know it ain’t easy A7 My mama said
