Verse:
D                 D/F# G           Em7         F#m7 G    G/A      D
I saw a twinkle in her eye.           It lit a fire deep inside.
D                D/F#     G        Em7          F#m7              G/A
But it burned so wild and strong.     I knew it wouldn't last for long.

Chorus:
       Em7        A    A/G      F#m7    Bm7
'Cause love takes time and it's hard to find
          Em        A                D     A-A G-G D 
You gotta take some time to let love grow


D                  F#m G           Em7            F#m7 G          G/A  D
I saw a shooting star go by.          It blazed a path across the sky.
D                     D/F#   G     Em7                 F#m7           G/A
But the beauty did not last, no.      Some things just happen all too fast.

Chorus:
    Em7        A    A/G      F#m7    Bm7
But love takes time and it's hard to find
          Em        A                D
You gotta take some time to let love grow, whoa

Bridge:
     Em7                 A                   Bm             A-B-Bm
Well some think love's a game you play for a night or two
    Em7              F#m                      G6                 G        G/A 
But I think that's a shame 'cause I know that in the end they're bound to lose

Chorus:
    Em7        A    A/G      F#m7    Bm7
But love takes time and it's hard to find
          Em        A       A/G      F#m7  B7
You gotta take some time to let love grow, oohhh

   Em7        A    A/G               F#m7    Bm7
Oh love takes time, I said that it's hard to find
         Em7       A                  D     (Piano Intro) 
Oh, just take your time and love will grow

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

   F#m7       B      B/A      G#m7    C#m7
Oh Love takes time.  Yes it's hard to find.
     F#m        B     B/A       E7
Baby love takes time, yours and mine, whoa 


Repeat chorus and fade with vocal adlibs
