Verse 
C        Am             F              C 
How come love was simpler when I could barely stand? 
C    Am             F                       C 
Worrying was harder when I had to hold your hand 
C             Am              F              C 
‘Cause my two feet hadn’t yet learned how to walk 
C          Am           F               C 
And my own voice hadn’t yet come out to talk 
C          Am       F          C 
But I knew love because I knew you 
C                        Am 
And I believed that everything you told me 
F              C 
Would come out true 

               Am           F       C 
‘Cause love is patient, and love is kind 
C      Am                      F                  C 
Love delights in the truth and is all you need to find 

Verse 
C      Am            F           C 
But as I grew older I learned to complicate 
C          Am               F            C 
Things you made so simple and I did some things I hate 
C       Am                F         C 
And I became so afraid of making mistakes 
C               Am      F           C 
‘Cause one hard fall is all that it takes 
   C        Am           F                   C 
To make you question the man you thought you’d be 
C              Am                  F                 C 
And I began to question the bright things you see in me 

    C       Am           F       C 
But love is patient, and love is kind 
 C           Am             F        C 
Love doesn’t keep a record of what’s behind 

    C             Am             F         C 
And I’ve heard my strength comes from your joy 
C            Am                  F            C 
Maybe that’s why I felt stronger when I was a boy 
C            Am            F               C 
Maybe I grew up too fast, or maybe I never did 
C                Am 
But I learned to bury and to chain 
    F                  C 
And from you I ran and hid 
C                  Am 
You know I want to finish strong 
F                             C 
But I’m having trouble at the start 
C                  Am 
And I’ve forgotten where to dig 
   F                  C 
To unearth my beating heart 

    C       Am          F        C 
But love is patient, and love is kind 
C       Am               F                C 
Love revives the heart and transforms the mind 

Verse 
G                                 F 
  And you say, son, throw your delight on me 
G                                       F 
  And you’ll become the man you want to be 
G                           F 
     And my love will never fail you 
G                           F 
     And my love will never fail you 
G                 F                C  
   And always remember.....love is kind 
               Am           F       C 
‘Cause love is patient, and love is kind 
C      Am                      F                  C 
Love delights in the truth and is all you need to find
