You Can't Hurry Love
Holland, Dozier, Holland (The Supremes)


Intro: G

       G             C         G
I need love, love to ease my mind
          Bm         Em            Am
I need to find, find    someone to call mine
    D
But mama said

    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, it's a game of give and take
    G                         C            G
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait
           Bm     Em               Am         D
You got to trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes

    Bm
But how many heartaches must I stand
         Em
Before I find a love to let me live again
              Am
Right now the only thing that keeps me hangin' on
       D                            D7
When I feel my strength, yeah, it's almost gone

I remember mama said

    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, it's a game of give and take
    G                          C          G
How long must I wait, how much more can I take?
       Bm    Em        Am              D
Before loneliness will cause my heart, heart to break?

    Bm
No, I can't bear to live my life alone
         Em
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
           Am
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
      D                       D7
These precious words keeps me hangin' on

I remember mama said


    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, it's a game of give and take
    G                         C            G
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait
         Bm     Em               Am         D
She said trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes

    G                     C  G
No, love, love don't come easy
      Bm        Em       Am   D
But I keep on waiting, anticipating
         G                     C       G
For that soft voice to talk to me at night
         Bm       Em    Am       D
For some tender arms to hold me tight
       G                  C    G
I keep waiting, I keep on waiting
             Bm   Em         Am
But it ain't easy,  it ain't easy
    D
But mama said

    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, it's a game of give and take
    G                         C            G
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait
           Bm     Em               Am         D
You got to trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes
