F Am Dm Bb C C6 C7

I see lovers in the streets walking,

without a care.

They're wearing out loud

Am Dm

like there's something in the air

Oooooh, and i don't care

They're treading lightly

No they, don't sink in

There's no tracks to follow

Am Dm

they don't care where they going

hmm

And if they're lucky and they'll,

they'll get to see and if they're

really really lucky they'll

C C6 C7

get to feel..

Bb C

And it kicks so hard,

it breaks your bones.

Cuts so deep

it hits your soul.

Tears your skin and

F Bb C

makes your blood flow.

Bb C

It's better that you know,

That love is hard.

Love takes hostages,

gives them pain.

gives someone the power to

Am Dm

hurt you again and again

oooh, but they don't care

And if they're lucky and they'll,

they'll get to see and if they're

really really lucky they'll

they'll get to feel.

And if they're, they're truly blessed

and they're get to believe

and if you're dammed, you'll never

C C6 C7

let yourself be diseased.

Bb C

And it kicks so hard,

it breaks your bones.

Cuts so deep

it hits your soul.

Tears your skin and

F Bb C

makes your blood flow.

Bb C

It's better that you know,

That love is hard.

Hmmmmmmm...

Bb C

And it kicks so hard,

it breaks your bones.

Cuts so deep

it hits your soul.

Tears your skin and

F Bb C

makes your blood flow.

Bb C

It's better that you know,

Bb C

And it kicks so hard,

it breaks your bones.

Cuts so deep

it hits your soul.

Tears your skin and

F Bb C

makes your blood flow.

Bb C

It's better that you know,

F C

That love is hard.

F C F C

love is hard, love is hard.

If it was easy,

C F

it wouldn't mean nothing though.
