Tom: F
C Bb F
Now I don't wanna make you feel no way
C Bb F
For there's harder days to come I say
C Bb F
But if you asked me would I stay the night
C Bb F
You know that I would surely say okay
C Bb F
I don't want you feeling like you're being played
C Bb F
Because my baby you know I love your way
C Bb F
And if there's something that I should say
C Bb F
Well it might just be that
[Chorus]
C Bb F
Striking up a love
C
Is harder then you think
Bb F
Trying to swim and not to sink ,yeah
C Bb F
Striking up a love
C
Is not as easy as it looks
Bb F
Even when you've read your books, oh
C Bb F
Striking up a love
C
Is harder then you think
Bb F
Trying to swim and not to sink, yeah
C Bb F
Striking up a love
C Bb F
Striking up a love
C Bb F
Striking up a love, oh
[Verse 2]
C Bb F
Now if you stayed another day with me
C Bb F
I'd show you all the thing that we could be
C Bb F
But in the morning if i had to leave
C Bb F
Will I find your tears upon my sleeve?
C Bb F
Now everything is everything and that's the truth
C Bb F
But I'll take time to work this out with you
C Bb F
And even if we gotta say goodbye
C Bb F
You know it ain't because we didn't try
C Bb F
It's just sometimes that
[Chorus]
C Bb F
Striking up a love
C
Is harder then you think
Bb F
Trying to swim and not to sink ,yeah
C Bb F
Striking up a love
C
Is not as easy as it looks
Bb F
Even when you've read your books, oh
C Bb F
Striking up a love
C
It's worth it in the end
Bb F
To find a lover and a friend
C Bb F
Striking up a love
C Bb F
Striking up a love
C Bb F
Striking up a love, oh
