Striking Up A Love

C               Bb                
Now I don't wanna make you feel no 
 F
way
C               Bb                
For there's harder days to come I 
 F
say
C               Bb                
But if you asked me would I stay the
 F
 night
C               Bb            
You know that I would surely say 
     F
okay
C               Bb                
I don't want you feeling like you're
 F
 being played
C               Bb                
Because my baby you know I love your
 F
 way
C               Bb           
And if there's something that I 
      F
should say
C               Bb                 F
Well it might just be that

[Chorus]
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love
C
Is harder then you think
       Bb                 F
Trying to swim and not to sink ,yeah
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love
C
Is not as easy as it looks
       Bb                 F
Even when you've read your books, oh
Continues after the ad
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love
C
Is harder then you think
       Bb                 F
Trying to swim and not to sink, yeah
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love, oh

[Verse 2]
C               Bb                
Now if you stayed another day with 
 F
me
C               Bb                
I'd show you all the thing that we 
 F
could be
C               Bb                 F
But in the morning if i had to leave
C               Bb          
Will I find your tears upon my 
       F
sleeve?
C               Bb            
Now everything is everything and 
     F
that's the truth
C               Bb                
But I'll take time to work this out 
 F
with you
C               Bb                 F
And even if we gotta say goodbye
C               Bb                
You know it ain't because we didn't 
 F
try
C               Bb                 F
It's just sometimes that

[Chorus]
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love
C
Is harder then you think
       Bb                 F
Trying to swim and not to sink ,yeah
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love
C
Is not as easy as it looks
       Bb                 F
Even when you've read your books, oh
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love
C
It's worth it in the end
       Bb                 F
To find a lover and a friend
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love
C               Bb        F
Striking up a love, oh
