G             C       G               Bm        Em      Am                D
I need love, love to ease my mind and I need to find time, someone to call mine. My Mama said:

[Refrain]
    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, but it's a game of give and take.
    G                           C            G
You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait.
     Bm         Em           Am          D       D7
Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.

[Strophe]
Bm
How many heartaches must I stand, 
         Em
before I find the love to let me live again.
              Am
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on,
       D                          D7                D
when I feel my strenghth, oh it's almost gone, I remember Mama said:

[Refrain]
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
How long must I wait? How much more must I take,
before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break?

[Strophe]
No I can't bear to live my life alone.
I grow impatient for a love to call my own.
But when I feel that I, I can't go on.
Well these Precious words keep me hangin' on, I remember Mama said:

[Refrain]
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait.          G
Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes. Now break!
