Verse:
D                  F#m G             E              C#m  E        A-A  D
I saw a twinkle in her eye.           It lit a fire deep inside.
D                     F#m G           E B       F#m               A
But it burned so wild and strong.     I knew it wouldn't last for long.

Chorus:
       E          A             F#m     D 
'Cause love takes time and it's hard to find
          E         A                D     A-A G-G D 
You gotta take some time to let love grow


D                  F#m G             E              C#m  E        A-A  D
I saw a shooting star go by.          It blazed a path across the sky.
D                     F#m G           E B       F#m               A
But the beauty did not last, no.      Some things just happen all too fast.

Chorus:
    E          A             F#m     D 
But love takes time and it's hard to find
          E         A                D
You gotta take some time to let love grow, whoa

Bridge:
     E                   A                   B 
Well some think love's a game you play for a night or two
    E                F#m                      G                  A 
But I think that's a shame 'cause I know that in the end they're bound to lose

Chorus:
    E          A             F#m     D 
But love takes time and it's hard to find
          E         A                D
You gotta take some time to let love grow, oohhh

   E          A             F#m     D 
Oh love takes time, I said that it's hard to find
         E         A                  D
Oh, just take your time and love will grow

Repeat Intro:
If we really want our love to grow, we gotta take it slow, whoa

   E          A               F#m     D 
Oh Love takes time.  Yes it's hard to find.
          E      A              D
Baby love takes time, yours and mine, whoa
