Chord/Tab song: Love Is Hard

Title: Love Is Hard
Album: Songs For You, Truths For Me

This is my personal acoustic version,ideally played without any other

instruments, just the singing and the guitar. Also, on the CD, the last but

one chorus has the chords strummed singularly. Enjoy :)

[F] [Am] [Dm] [Bb] [C] [C6][C7]

[F]I see lovers in the streets walking,

without a care.

They're wearing out loud
like there's something [Am]in the [Dm]air
Oooooh, and [Bb]i don't care

[F]They're treading lightly

No they, don't sink in

There's no tracks to follow
they don't care w[Am]here they [Dm]going
[Bb]hmm

[Bb]And if they're lucky and they'll,

they'll get to see and if they're

really really lucky they'll
get to [C]fe[C6]el.[C7].

[Bb]And it kicks so ha[C]rd,
it breaks your bon[Bb]es.
Cuts so de[C]ep
it hits your s[Bb]oul.
Tears your sk[C]in and
makes your blood [F]fl[Bb]ow.[C]
It's better that you kn[Bb]ow,[C]
That love is h[F]ard.

[F]Love takes hostages,

gives them pain.

gives someone the power to
hurt you [Am]again and [Dm]again
oooh, but [Bb]they don't care

[Bb]And if they're lucky and they'll,

they'll get to see and if they're
[C]really really lucky they'll
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/james_morrison/love_is_hard_crd.html )
they'll get to feel.
[Bb]And if they're, they're truly blessed

and they're get to believe

and if you're dammed, you'll never
let yourself be d[C]is[C6]eas[C7]ed.

[Bb]And it kicks so ha[C]rd,
it breaks your bon[Bb]es.
Cuts so de[C]ep
it hits your s[Bb]oul.
Tears your sk[C]in and
makes your blood [F]fl[Bb]ow.[C]
It's better that you kn[Bb]ow,[C]
That love is h[F]ard.


Hmmmmmmm...

love is h[F]ard,[C] love is h[F]ard.[C]
If it was e[Bb]asy,
it wouldn't mean n[C]othing t[F]hough.


Also, for all those who are looking for the tune played throughout (not the

chords) which is heard most at the beginning, here is a little tab :)
