This is my personal acoustic version,ideally played without any other

instruments, just the singing and the guitar. Also, on the CD, the last but

one chorus has the chords strummed singularly. Enjoy :)

      F     Am    Dm    Bb    C     C6    C7



F
I see lovers in the streets walking,

without a care.

They're wearing out loud
                       Am     Dm
like there's something in the air
            Bb
Oooooh, and i don't care


F
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
Bb
hmm


Bb
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,
                  Bb
it breaks your bones.
          C
Cuts so deep
              Bb
it hits your soul.
             C
Tears your skin and
                 F Bb C
makes your blood flow.
                       Bb   C
It's better that you know,
              F
That love is hard.


F
Love takes hostages,

gives them pain.

gives someone the power to
         Am        Dm
hurt you again and again
          Bb
oooh, but they don't care


Bb
And if they're lucky and they'll,

they'll get to see and if they're
C
really really lucky they'll

they'll get to feel.
Bb
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,
                  Bb
it breaks your bones.
          C
Cuts so deep
              Bb
it hits your soul.
             C
Tears your skin and
                 F Bb C
makes your blood flow.
                       Bb   C
It's better that you know,
              F
That love is hard.



Hmmmmmmm...



Bb                C
And it kicks so hard,
                  Bb
it breaks your bones.
          C
Cuts so deep
              Bb
it hits your soul.
             C
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,
                  Bb
it breaks your bones.
          C
Cuts so deep
              Bb
it hits your soul.
             C
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.
           Bb
If it was easy,
                  C       F
it wouldn't mean nothing though.
