A                                   E
Do you remember the first time, and all of your sweet sweet talk
E7
Ain't heard it a lot since then love
     D        A   E          D     A   E
Now look at that guy, he's making me cry
    D     A     E          D     A        E
He leaves everybody and he only says goodbye
       D                 A       E               F#
But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go
      Bm                A        E                F#        Bm
Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow
            E
Darling I know

Chorus:
               A  C#m
We gotta have patience
 D          E         A  C#m
Love isn't just a sensation
 D           E            A
Some of the time it gets rough
           D    Bm      E       G#m   A
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
        F#m        D       E
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
 A C#m
Giving
 D         E            C#m
love is a reason for living
 D          E            A
But a few things can be tough
           D     Bm     E       G#m   A
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
        F#m        D       E
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)

From the first moment I saw you I've treated you like a queen
I've given you lots of presents
Now listen to that, just look at that cat
You'd think he was an angel, but he's talking through his hat
But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go
Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow
Darling, I know

Chorus - x2
