   I need love, love to ease my mind

No matter how long it takes

Bridge:
Bm
How many heartaches must I stand
         Em
before I find the love to let me live again
              Am
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on
       D
When I feel my strength

 Oh, it's almost gone

    G
How long must I wait?

How much more must I take

Before loneliness
      Am              D
Will 'cause my heart, heart to break?

Bridge:
   Bm
No one can bear to live a life alone
         Em
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
           Am
But when I feel that I, I can't go on

Well these precious words

  Keep me hangin' on

I remember Mama said

For that soft voice to talk to me at night

  For some tender arms to hold me tight

       G            C
I keep waiting, oh 'til that day,
G              Bm   Em                     Am
