Love Is Hard chords by James Morrison

INTRO:
D D6 D D6

Verse 1:
D
I see lovers in the streets walking
D6        D
Without a care

And they wear it out loud
             D6        F#m    Bm
Like there's something in the air
             G
Oooooh, well I don't care.

Verse 2:
D

They're treading lightly
         D6         D
No, they don't sink in.

There's no tracks to follow
D6              F#m           Bm
They don't care where they're going, mmm.

Pre-Chorus 1:
G
And if they're lucky, yeah, they'll,

They'll get to see. And if they're
Em7
Really really lucky they'll
       A   D  A7
Get to fee-ee-eel.

Chorus:
G               A
And it kicks so hard,
            G
Breaks your bones.
        A
Cuts so deep
             G
It hits your soul.
           A
Tears your skin and
Asus4            Bm  A7 D
Makes your blood flo-o-ow.
     D7              G     A
It's better that you know,
             D     D6 D
That love is hard.

Verse 3:
D
Love takes hostages,
    D6         D
And gives them pain,

Gives someone the power to
D6       F#m       Bm
Hurt you again and again.
          G                A
Oooh, but they don't care.

Pre-Chorus 2:
        G
Oh, and if they're lucky, yeah, they'll,

They'll get to see. And if they're
Em7
Really really lucky they'll,

They'll get to feel.
                G
And if they're, they're truly blessed

Then they'll get to believe
              Em7
And if you're damned, you'll never
                A    D A7
Let yourself be dece-e-eived.

Chorus:
G               A
And it kicks so hard,
            G
Breaks your bones.
        A
Cuts so deep
             G
It hits your soul.
           A
Tears your skin and
Asus4            Bm  A7 D
Makes your blood flo-o-ow.
     D7              G     A
It's better that you know,
             D     D6 D
That love is hard.

Love is hard.

Love is hard.

          A
If it was easy
   G                      D
It wouldn't mean nothing, no.
