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