E
Before we say goodnight
B
Look down and call for time
G#m                  F#
Before we walk away, just think
E
I wish that I could say
B
This heart will never break
G#m                     F#
Before we start again, let's think
E
We felt too much to fall
B
Don't bow when the curtain falls
G#m                   F#
Before we lose it all, before we lose it all

Chorus:
             E     B
If it's not hard enough
             G#m    F#
If it don't hurt enough
             E       B
If it's not hard to find
              G#m        F#
If it don't change your life
               E
Then it's not love

It’s never how you plan
And when you’ve lost all hope
That’s when you’ll understand
Maybe it’s my mistake
I say too much too late
‘Til we communicate again
Don’t hide when the rain falls
If it’s easy then it can’t be love
Before we lose it all, before we lose it all

Chorus

     B
Not love
        G#m
'Cause love is never planned
     F#
Not ours to understand
        E         B
'Cause love, yes love
   F#
Is all we really have

Chorus

If it's not all too much
Then it’s not love
Then it’s not love
If it's not everywhere you look
Then it’s not love
