Hard Love

     C             C7             
I remember growing up loved like 
      G           Am
it was only yesterday
G                                 
Mum and daddy tried their best to 
  F             C
guide me on my way
         C                       
But the hard times and the liqour 
       Dm7        Am
drove easy love away
        G                          
And the only love I knew about was 
 C
hard love


        C               G          
It was hard love every hour of the 
Am
day
       G                           
When Christmas to my birthday was a
  F              C
 million years away
         C                         
And the fear that came between them
            Dm7           Am
 drove the tears into my play
           G                       
There was love in daddy's house but
         C
 it was hard love


     C               C7        
I recall the gentle courtesy you 
    G             Am
showed me as I tried
       G                           
To dissemble in politeness all the 
 F             C
love I felt inside
         C                         
But for every song of laughter 
       Dm7                Am
there was another song that cried
      G                            
This ain't no easy weekend this is 
 C
hard love

        C               G          
It was hard love every step of the 
Am
way
        G                        
It was hard to be so close to you 
      F             C
and hard to turn away
          C                  
But when all the stars in the 
              Dm7             Am
sentimental songs dissolve away
             G                  
There'll be nothing left to sing 
            C
about but hard love


         C                 C7     
So I'll love you for your courage 
          G                Am
and your gentle sense of shame
          G                        
And I'll love you for your laughter
           F                 C
 and your language and your name
       C                           
And I knew it was impossible but I 
 Dm7                Am
loved you just the same
            G                      
Though the only love I gave to you 
     C
was hard love


        C                   G     
It was hard love it was so hard on
        Am
 you I know
         G                         
When the only love I gave to you 
   F               C
was love I couldn't show
        C                          
You forgave the heart that loved 
           Dm7            Am
you as your lover turned to go
         G                       
Leaving nothing but the memory of 
  C
hard love


        C                C7       
So I'm standing in this phone 
          G            Am
booth with a dollar and a dime
         G                         
And I'm wondering what to say to 
      F                  C
you to ease your troubled mind
         C                         
For the Lord's cross might redeem 
          Dm7                 Am
us but our own just waste our time
        G                        
But to tell the two apart there's 
         C
always hard love


         C               C7    
So I'll tell you that I love you 
         G                Am
even though you're far away
          G                        
And I'll tell you how you changed 
         F                C
me as I lived from day to day
             C                 
And how you helped me to accept 
               Dm7            Am
myself and I won't forget to say
             G                     
That love is never wasted even when
       C
 it's hard love


         C                  G     
Oh it's hard love but it's love 
       Am
all the same
      G                            
It's not the stuff of fantasy much 
 F                C
more than just a game
             C                   
And it's the only kind of miracle 
          Dm7           Am
that is worthy of the name
         G                         
For the love that heals our lives 
          C
is mostly hard love
