Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Mamma said, "Let's shave my head today"

It's all gonna fall out anyway

The laughter rolled in first just like she planned

 Then the tears fell out with strand

 after strand, after strand, after strand

Chorus 1

[G/f#]

Love doesn't wait until it's easy

Love isn't only dancin' under stars

Love's not just for rollin' along like a summer song

Love's for when it's hard

Bridge 1

 When it's hard and you don't want to believe it

 You don't have enough hands to cover your ears and your eyes

 When it's hard and you don't want to speak it

 'Cause the only sound that comes is, "Why?"

Verse 2

Before I knew we were swaying like the trees

But they know how to bend and we're on our knees

 I got a shock wave when it reached the speed of sound

 By the time you hear the boom

 the pain is raining down and down and down

Chorus 2

[G/f#]

Love doesn't wait until it's easy

Love isn't only dancin' under stars

Love's not just for rollin' along like a summer song

Love's for when it's hard

Bridge 2

 When it's hard and you don't want to believe it

 You don't have enough hands to cover your ears and your eyes

 When it's hard and you don't want to speak it

 'Cause the only sound that comes is, "Why?"

Chorus 3

  [G/f#]

Love doesn't wait until it's easy

Love isn't only dancin' under stars

Love's not just for rollin' along like a summer song

Love's for when it's hard

 When it's hard

 Yeah

 When it's hard
