Verse 1:

Csus2                          
Mamma said, "Let's shave my head 
      Csus2 - Dsus2 - Esus2
today"
Csus2                        Csus2
It's all gonna fall out anyway
 - Dsus2 - Esus2

Csus2                             
The laughter rolled in first just 
               Csus2 - Dsus2 - Esus2
like she planned
                              Csus2
Then the tears fell out with strand
      Dsus2         Esus2         
after strand, after strand, after 
Gsus2
strand



Chorus 1:

Em7          Csus2           G  
Love doesn't wait until it's 
    G/F#
easy
Csus2                         D
Love isn't only dancin' under stars
Em7  Csus2          G           
Love's not just for rollin' 
         Am7
along like a summer song

D   Dsus4               Csus2 - 
Dsus2 - Esus2 (x2)
Love's for when it's hard



Bridge 1:

          G                        
When it's hard and you don't want 
    D
to believe it
          Csus2                    
You don't have enough hands to 
                     G
cover your ears and your eyes
          G                        
When it's hard and you don't want 
   D
to speak it
           Csus2                    
 Em7     Asus4     Csus2 - Dsus2 - 
Esus2 (x2)
'Cause the only sound that comes is,
 "Why?"


Verse 2:

Csus2                             
Before I knew we were swaying like
         Csus2 - Dsus2 - Esus2
 the trees
Csus2                             
But they know how to bend and 
             Csus2 - Dsus2 - Esus2
we're on our knees
        Csus2 Csus2               
I got a shock wave when it reached
                  Csus2 - Dsus2 - 
 the speed of sound
Esus2

       Csus2             Dsus2
By the time you hear the boom
    Esus2   Csus2   Dsus2    
the pain is raining down and 
Esus2    Gsus2
down and down

Love isn't only dancin' under stars
Em7  Csus2          G           
Love's not just for rollin' 
         Am7
along like a summer song
D   Dsus4                 Csus2 - 
Dsus2 - Esus2 (x2)

You don't have enough hands to 
                     G
cover your ears and your eyes
          G                        
When it's hard and you don't want 
   D
to speak it
           Csus2                   
'Cause the only sound that comes 
  Em7   Asus4   Em7   Asus4
is, "Why?"

Dsus2 - Esus2 (x2)
Love's for when it's hard
          Csus2 - Dsus2 - Esus2 (x2)
When it's hard
   Csus2 - Dsus2 - Esus2 (x4)
Yeah
          Csus2 - Dsus2 - Esus2 
(repeat chords & fade)
When it's hard
