The Courage Of Love chords by Garth Brooks

Intro:

D

Verse 1:
 D                 G
The fighter in the corner, says a prayer before the bell
         D              A
And there's a soldier in the desert, findin’ out that war is hell
       D              G
There's a veteran on the corner, with a story sad to tell
       D       G       A      D
And there's a man in your mirror, that knows you all too well


Verse 2:
  D                  G
You’re gonna get a million answers to what's a measure of a man
     D                A
From the softness of his heart to the hardness of his hand
    D                   G
It's always been the same old question ever since this world began
    D         G     A      D
But a man can't learn a lesson that he don't understand

Chorus:
   G          D        A
The hardest thing you'll ever do is to tell someone you're sorry
   G         D         A
You'll never be the bravest man if you can’t admit you’re scared
   G         D         A          D
What you do, and what you say, the strength it's gonna take to stay
  G         D     A     G          D
Comes from somewhere high up above, and that’s the courage of love


Verse 3:
  D                  G
And any fool can pull the trigger, anyone can start a fight
     D                      A
But to love is so much bigger, and so beyond what's black or white
   D                   G
And if we're gonna give our children the future that is bright
      D         G     A      D
Then the truth must be the answer and love is the light


Chorus:
    G          D      A
The hardest thing you'll ever do is tell someone you’re sorry
   G         D         A
You'll never be the bravest man if you can't admit you're scared
   G         D        A           D
What you do, and what you say, the strength it's gonna take to stay
  G         D    A    G          D
Comes from somewhere high up above, that's the courage of love


Bridge:
     A      G        D
And if you're gonna give yourself to somebody else
   A     G          A
Then you gotta love someone more than yourself


Chorus:
       G         D       A
'Cause the hardest thing you'll ever do is tell someone you're sorry
   G         D         A
You'll never be the bravest man if you can't admit you're scared
    G        D             A          D
What you don't do, what you don't say, the strength it takes to walk away
  G         D     A    G         D
Comes from somewhere high up above, that's the courage of love


Outro:
 G      D
The courage of love
  G         D
That's the courage of love
