Get it while you can

C Em

1. In this world, if you read the papers, Lord,

F C

you know everybody's fighting on with each other.

You got no one you can count on, baby,

Bb F

not even your own brother.

C E

So if someone comes along,

F G#

he's gonna give you some love and affection.

C - Bb - F

I'd say, get it while you can, yeah!

C - Bb - F

Honey, get it while you can,

C - G

hey, hey, get it while you can,

Am G

don't you turn your back on love, no, no!

C Em

2. Don't you know when you're loving anybody, baby,

F C

you're taking a gamble on a little sorrow.

But then who cares, baby,

Bb F

'cause we may not be here tomorrow, no.

C E

And if anybody should come along,

F G#

he gonna give you any love and affection. + CHORUS

+ C Em F C E F G# + CHORUS + CHORUS ....
