Bb

Bb                                    Bb
[band in]                    I need        love,    love,                to

Eb                 Bb                 Dm7                Gm7
    ease my mind.        I need to      find, find...      someone to

Cm7                Eb        F        Bb
    call mine,        but Mama said,  "You can't hurry love. No, you

Eb                 Bb                 Dm7                Gm7
   just have to wait."     She said,    "Love don't come  easy.

Cm7                Eb        F        Bb
   It's a game of     give & take.  You  can't hurry love,      no,  you

Eb                 Bb                 Dm7                Gm7
    just have to wait.     You gotta    trust,  give it   time,         no

Cm7                Eb        F        Dm7
    matter how    long it takes."  But  how many   heartaches must I

Dm7                                   Gm7
    stand                 before I     find a love         to let me

Gm7                                   Cm7
   live again?           Right now the  only thing          that keeps me

Cm7                                   F7                 Eb
    hangin' on,           when I        feel my strength, yeah, it's

F7                 Eb        F6       Bb
almost gone. I remember Mama said, "You can't hurry love,    no      you

Eb                 Bb                 Dm7                Gm7
    just have to wait."     She said,   "Love don't come easy,

Cm7                Eb        F        Bb
   it's a game of give & take."      How long must I wait?    How much

Eb                 Bb                 Dm7                Gm7
    more can I take         before   lonelinless     will    cause

Cm7                Eb        F        Dm7
   my heart,  heart to break?  No,     I can't bear         to live my

Dm7                                   Gm7
       life alone.         I grow    impatient for a love        to

Gm7                                   Cm7
   call my own.         But when I       feel that I,            I

Cm7                                   F7                 Eb
    can't go on,             these       precious words     keep me

F7                 Eb        F6       Bb
   hangin' on,  I remember Mama said, "You can't hurry love,   no you

Eb                 Bb                 Dm7                Gm7
    just have to wait."     She said,  "Love don't come   easy.

Cm7                Eb        F        Bb
     It's a game of  give & take.  You   can't hurry love.    No,  you

Eb                 Bb                 Dm7                Gm7
    just have to wait."     She said,  "Trust,   give it time,      no

Cm7                Eb        F        Bb
   matter  how long it takes."           [bass]                     Now,

Bb                                    Eb                 Bb
       love, love,           don't come    easy.               But I

Dm7                Gm7                Cm7                Eb       F6
    keep on waiting,              anticipating               for that

Bb                                    Eb                 Bb
    soft voice           to talk to      me at night.          For some

Dm7                Gm7                Cm7                Eb       F
      tender arms              to     hold me tight.            I keep

Bb                                    Eb                 Bb
     waiting.             I keep on      waiting.         But it ain't

Dm7                Gm7                Cm7                Eb       F
    easy.                 It ain't        easy, but Mama said,    "You

Bb                                    Eb                 Bb
   can't hurry love,         no, you    just have to wait."   She said to

Dm7                Gm7                Cm7                Eb       F
    trust,   give it  time          no matter how        long it takes. You

Bb                                    Eb                 Bb*
    can't hurry love,     no,      you just have to wait.     She said,

Dm7                Gm7                Cm7                Eb       F
    "Love don't come easy,              it's a game of give & take.
