CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
G  D/F#  Em  G  C
[Verse 1]
Well, I Gknow it Dain't been Emroses,  G  Clately it's just been thorns
And no Gmatter what we Ddo, Emnothing Gseems Cto change
Love has Galways Dbeen my Emshelter, Gfor Cyou it's been a storm
But for aGwhile I Dthought Emwe'd alGways beat Cthe rain
[Verse 2]
Now there's a Ghole Dhere in my Empocket Gwhere all Cmy dreams have gone
Fallen Gout like Dso many Emnickels Gand Cdimes
And Glast of Dall you, Emyou've Galways been Cmy good luck charm
I should've Gknown whether Dluck Emwas a Gwaste Cof time
[Chorus]
'Cause it don't Gbring you Emlove if Cyou don't love
And it don't Gbring D/F#you  Emtime Gif you Cain't got time
And it don't Gbring you Emstrength, baby, if Cyou ain't strong
And it don't Gbring yD/F#ou kindEmness Gif Cyou ain't kind
[Verse 3]
Now there's a Gwhole Dlot of Emlife Gto Cbe unsure of
But there's Gone thing DI can Emsafely Gsay CI know
That of Gall the Dthings that EmfinalGly Cdesert us
GPride Dis always Emthe Glast thing Cto go
[Chorus]
But it won't Gbring you Emlove if Cyou don't love
And it won't Gbring D/F#you tEmime Gif you aCin't got time
And it won't Gbring you Emstrength, baby, if Cyou ain't strong
And it won't Gbring yD/F#ou kindEmness Gif Cyou ain't kind
[Verse 4]
Now I Gwish you only roses, Cwithout the thorns
And I Ghope your Ddreams are EmalGways withCin reach
And I Gwish you shelter, baby, from Call your storms
They Gscared you, Dbut they Emnever Gseemed to Cteach
[Chorus]
That I can't Gbring you Emlove if Cyou don't love
And I can't Gbring D/F#you tEmime Gif you Cain't got time
And I can't Gbring you Emstrength, baby, if Cyou ain't strong
And I can't Gbring D/F#you kinEmdness Gif you Cain't kind
[Chorus]
No, I can't Gbring you Emlove if Cyou don't love

Maura O'Connell - It Don't Bring You

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[Intro]

G D/F# Em G C

[Verse 1]

G D Em G C

Well, I know it ain't been roses, lately it's just been thorns

G D Em G C

And no matter what we do, nothing seems to change

G D Em G C

Love has always been my shelter, for you it's been a storm

G D Em G C

But for awhile I thought we'd always beat the rain

[Verse 2]

G D Em G C

Now there's a hole here in my pocket where all my dreams have gone

G D Em G C

Fallen out like so many nickels and dimes

G D Em G C

And last of all you, you've always been my good luck charm

G D Em G C

I should've known whether luck was a waste of time

[Chorus]

G Em C

'Cause it don't bring you love if you don't love

G D/F# Em G C

And it don't bring you time if you ain't got time

G Em C

And it don't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong

G D/F# Em G C

And it don't bring you kindness if you ain't kind

[Verse 3]

G D Em G C

Now there's a whole lot of life to be unsure of

G D Em G C

But there's one thing I can safely say I know

G D Em G C

That of all the things that finally desert us

G D Em G C

Pride is always the last thing to go

[Chorus]

G Em C

But it won't bring you love if you don't love

G D/F# Em G C

And it won't bring you time if you ain't got time

G Em C

And it won't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong

G D/F# Em G C

And it won't bring you kindness if you ain't kind

[Verse 4]

G C

Now I wish you only roses, without the thorns

G D Em G C

And I hope your dreams are always within reach

G C

And I wish you shelter, baby, from all your storms

G D Em G C

They scared you, but they never seemed to teach

[Chorus]

G Em C

That I can't bring you love if you don't love

G D/F# Em G C

And I can't bring you time if you ain't got time

G Em C

And I can't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong

G D/F# Em G C

And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind

[Chorus]

G Em C

No, I can't bring you love if you don't love

G D/F# Em G C

And I can't bring you time if you ain't got time

G Em C

And I can't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong

G D/F# Em G C G

And it don't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
