C                     F        C 
I gotta get while the gettin's good baby 

              F        C 
Get while the gettin's good 

F                C 
Out of your life into a life 

                   G7 
Where I'll be understood 


F 
I need a lots of tender love 

    C                        F 
But your heart's made out of wood 

   C 
If I'm never gonna find a peace of mind 

  G7                           C 
I gotta get while the gettin's good 


                 G7              C 
You told me that love is one big bubble 

   F                                     C 
We played the game by your rules and you won 

    F                            C 
And just today I figured out the trouble 

                   F                   C 
I learned to crawl before I learned to run 


C                     F        C 
I gotta get while the gettin's good baby 

              F        C 
Get while the gettin's good 

F                C 
Out of your life into a life 

                   G7 
Where I'll be understood

  G7                           C 
I gotta get while the gettin's good 


                    G7             C 
I noticed I've quit singing in the shower 

  F                           C 
I rarely ever laugh and I can tell 

    F                            C 
I'm wilting like the petals on a flower 

                            F           C 
And there's nothing left to say now but farewell 


C                     F        C 
I gotta get while the gettin's good baby 

              F        C 
Get while the gettin's good 

F                C 
Out of your life into a life
