• Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
     D                                  G
This lonely heart of mine grows colder every night
    D                                      G
And this glass upon my eye falls victim to the light


Pre-Chorus:
         D
Stuck in Ca-alifornia, world out before ya
    G
But somethin's missin' (Somethin's missin')
D
You should be happy, whatever that means
G
But something feels different

Chorus:
            D
So wherever you are
               G
Hope you don't take too long
                     Bm        A
I need a little love in my life
                     G
I need a little love in my life
                D
I'm breakin' my own rules (My own rules, my own rules)
                G
You can't hurry things along
                          Bm           A
So when you need a little love in life
                     D
You'll find a little love


Verse 2:
     D                                G
Been pushin' love away to save myself the hurt
      D                                            N.C.
Ain't much heart left to break so clearly it don't work, work, work


Pre-Chorus:
         D
Stuck in Ca-alifornia, world out before ya
    G
But somethin's missin' (Somethin's missin')
D
I should be happy, whatever that means
       G
I need anything to make me feel


Chorus:
            D
So wherever you are
               G
Hope you don't take too long
                     Bm         A
I need a little love in my life
                     G
I need a little love in my life
                    D
I'm breakin' my own rules (My own rules, my own rules, my own rules)
                G
You can't hurry things along
                          Bm                       A
So when you need a little love in life (Little love, little love)

You'll find a little love

Post-Chorus:
D
Grew up underneath the rising love

Watched it battle through the turbulence

I just wanna feel understood

Patiently, I waited patiently
   A
To share all of my insecurities

First, I really gotta work on me

Grew up underneath the rising love (I keep shutting down, mm)

Watched it battle through the turbulence

I just wanna feel understood

Patiently, I waited patiently (Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm)
